1 Corinthians 4:5

5 So don't pronounce judgment prematurely, before the Lord comes; for he will bring to light what is now hidden in darkness; he will expose the motives of people's hearts; and then each will receive from God whatever praise he deserves.

1 Corinthians 4:5 In-Context

3 And it matters very little to me how I am evaluated by you or by any human court; in fact, I don't even evaluate myself.
4 I am not aware of anything against me, but this does not make me innocent. The one who is evaluating me is the Lord.
5 So don't pronounce judgment prematurely, before the Lord comes; for he will bring to light what is now hidden in darkness; he will expose the motives of people's hearts; and then each will receive from God whatever praise he deserves.
6 Now in what I have said here, brothers, I have used myself and Apollos as examples to teach you not to go beyond what the Tanakh says, proudly taking the side of one leader against another.
7 After all, what makes you so special? What do you have that you didn't receive as a gift? And if in fact it was a gift, why do you boast as if it weren't?
