1 Corinthians 4:3 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.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 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.
Paul begins here by letting us know that we should not be judged by others possibly because of things in our past or for what we are doing today. He is not saying he is better than anyone else because he himself could not be a judge of others or himself. He goes on to say that he is doing what he feels the Lord is asking him to do and he knows that only the Lord is the judge of what he does. Finally he shows us that all things will be judged, even the hidden things that the human eye does not see but God sees because He looks in the heart. Our final rewards will not be based on the things we did but on the devotion of our hearts to God to accomplish His purpose.
