3 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. 4 For ^tI am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore ^udo not pronounce ^vjudgment before the time, before the Lord ^wcomes, who will ^xbring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will ^ydisclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God.

6 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,¹ that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be ^zpuffed up in favor of one against another.
