    3So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

    4For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.

    5So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition from God.

    6I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn“not to go beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.
