20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men; for all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
1 Corinthians 4 Intro: In what manner ministers ought to be accounted of -- The saints, though reproached, should be examples to the world.
1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment; yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 For though I know nothing against myself; yet I am not hereby justified; but he who judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore I judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise of God.
6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
