1 Corinthians 4:4-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 For I (A)am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this (B)acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. 5 Therefore (C)do not go on [a]passing judgment before [b]the time, but wait (D)until the Lord comes who will both (E)bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s (F)praise will come to him from God.
6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed (G)what is written, so that no one of you will (H)become [c]arrogant (I)in behalf of one against the other.

New International Version
1 Corinthians 4:4-6
New International Version
4 My conscience(A) is clear, but that does not make me innocent.(B) It is the Lord who judges me.(C) 5 Therefore judge nothing(D) before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.(E) He will bring to light(F) what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.(G)
6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.”(H) Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.(I)
