I Cor 4

I am a servant of Christ and a steward of the mystery of God. I pray that as a steward I will be faithful. He who judges me is the Lord so I judge nothing before the time until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the councils of the heart and then each one’s praise will come from God.

I am not puffed up on behalf of one against another. I realize that whatever ministry I have I have received from God so why would I glory in myself if all that I have I received from God?  I may appear a fool for Christ’s sake but in reality I am wise in Christ. I am begotten of God, through the gospel delivered by the apostles.  By god’s grace I am rich and I reign in the kingdom. The kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
