1 Corinthians 4:3 · KJV

"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."

King James Version

What does 1 Corinthians 4:3 mean? →

Passage Context

1Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3But 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.
4For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5Therefore 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.
