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 in 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 I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

5: Therefore 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.
