1 Corinthians 4:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ So do not judge before the ·right [appointed] time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light things that are now hidden in darkness, and will make known the secret ·purposes [motives] of people’s hearts. Then God will ·praise [give appropriate commendation to] each one of them.

⁶ Brothers and sisters, I have used Apollos and myself as examples so you could learn through us the meaning of the saying, “·Follow only [^LDo not go beyond] ·what is written in the Scriptures [or what I have already written to you; ^Lwhat is written].” Then you will not ·be more proud of one person than another [or arrogantly support one person over another]. ⁷ [^LFor] Who ·says you are better than others [made you so important; or sees anything different in you]? What do you have that was not given to you? And if it was given to you, why do you ·brag [boast] as if you did not ·receive it as a gift [^Lreceive it]?
