1 Corinthians 4:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, but I have not been declared-right[a] by this, but the One examining me is the Lord. 5 So then do not be judging anything before the time, until the Lord comes, Who will both[b] illuminate the hidden things of the darkness and reveal the motives[c] of the hearts. And at-that-time the praise[d] will come to each one from God.
Brothers, Learn From Apollos And Paul Not To Be Puffed Up About God’s Ministers
6 Now brothers, I applied[e] these things to myself and Apollos for your sakes, in order that in us you might learn the saying “Do not go[f] beyond the things which have been written”— in order that you might not be puffed-up, one on behalf of the one against the other.

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)
