Honest and to be trusted servant in home of God

1 Corinthians 4:1-13
Men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those c. It is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
Care very little if I am judged by any human court; do not even  judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time, wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts.
You may learn from us the meaning of the saying " Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not take pride in one man over against another. For who makes you different from anyone else? If you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
It seems to me that God has put us apostles o display at the end of the procession like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universal. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ.
Why?
There should be no place for pride among Christians and no looking down on others. The greatest Christians regard themselves as no more than God's slaves. This is the example to follow.
All we have is received from God, so we have not reason to boast as if we did not receive.
All of us are servant of the Lord and what our motivation will be revealed when the day is come.
Don't judge each other, only the Lord has right to judge everyone. And I should learn from Paul who care less if he was judge by human.
Paul suffer many condemnation and persecution for the gospel. He hope he could be an example to all Christians. He did is not for his benefit but for ours.
How?
The Lord knows what our motivation of serve is. Learn from the altitude of Paul, he did an good example of Christian.  Honest and to be trusted servant in home of God
