2. Ministers Are Accountable to God..................... 3:18-4:5 1Co 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.1Co 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.1Co 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;1Co 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;1Co 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.1Co 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.1Co 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.1Co 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.1Co 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.1Co 4:5 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. |
