Free Bible Study: Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians
Today’s Lesson: The Corinthians and Their Apostles
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4.5-4.13
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4.5-4.13
Description:
before the time—God, the righteous Judge, will determine everything at the time appointed for judging all men; therefore judge nothing before that time. It is as if Paul were saying, "You Corinthians act like judges at athletic events, qualified to give some the trophy and to send others away as losers. But Jesus is the only judge, and you are judging before the events are over." Note: Jesus is the One who will judge. If we sit in judgment on someone else, we are taking the Lord’s place. This is why we should not react to insults or criticism by fighting back. God will judge us fairly, and He knows all the facts. (Anyway, we probably know worse things about ourselves than the person who is criticizing us does!)
