But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. (A)For I am not aware of anything against myself, (B)but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore (C)do not pronounce judgment before the time, (D)before the Lord comes, (E)who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. (F)Then each one will receive his commendation from God.

I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,[a] that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may (G)be puffed up in favor of one against another.

I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience(A) is clear, but that does not make me innocent.(B) It is the Lord who judges me.(C) Therefore judge nothing(D) before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.(E) He will bring to light(F) what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.(G)

Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.”(H) Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.(I)
