1So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
“Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.”
“This is how one should regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.”
“let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.”

3I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
“But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.”
“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.”

4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.
“for I know of nothing against myself yet. I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.”
“for I know nothing by myself, yet am I not hereby justified. But he that judges me is the Lord.'.”
“For I know nothing by myself, yet am I not hereby justified, but he that judges me is the Lord.”
“for I know nothing by myself. Yet am I not hereby justified, but he that judgeth me is the Lord.”
“for I know of nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.”
“for I know nothing by myself, yet am I not hereby justified. But he that judges me is the Lord.”
5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
“Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time. But wait until the Lord comes. Who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and Disclose the motives of men's hearts and then each man's praise will come…”
“Therefore, judge nothing before the time until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.”
“Therefore, do not pronounce judgment before the time. Before the Lord comes who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart, then each one will receive his commendation from…”
“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.”
“Therefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the heart. Then each one's praise will come from God.”
“Therefore, judge nothing before the time until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the heart. And then each one's praise will come from God.”
6Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.
