^{3 Ref} But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.

^{4 Ref} For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

^{5 Ref} For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

^{6 Ref} My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.
