1 Corinthians 4:1

Serving othersJesus Christ
So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

2 Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

3 I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
