A Reading from the First Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
1 Cor 4:1-5 Text source: Douay-Rheims Bible Download Ambo to get today’s readings in a different English Bible translation.

But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man's day; but neither do I judge my own self. For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord. Therefore judge not before the time; until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise from God.
