1 Corinthians 4:3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 Now to me, it is a very small thing that I should be examined[a] by you, or by a human day of judgment. But I do not even examine myself ! 4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, but I have not been declared-right[b] by this, but the One examining me is the Lord. 5 So then do not be judging anything before the time, until the Lord comes, Who will both[c] illuminate the hidden things of the darkness and reveal the motives[d] of the hearts. And at-that-time the praise[e] will come to each one from God.

1 Corinthians 4:3-5
New International Version
3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience(A) is clear, but that does not make me innocent.(B) It is the Lord who judges me.(C) 5 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)
