1 Corinthians 4:1

MSG

NIV

1 Don't imagine us leaders to be something we aren't. We are servants of Christ, not his masters. We are guides into God's most sublime secrets, not security guards posted to protect them.
1 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed.
