1 Cor. 4:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 Cor. 4:4      1 Cor. 4:6

First letter to the Corinthians 4:5

Therefore, do not judge prematurely (hastily) before the Lord comes [back], for then he will bring to light what is now in darkness and reveal the motives of the heart; then each one will receive his honor (his praise) from God.
[Paul warns against judging people hastily, which easily leads to acts of revenge. Only God knows the hearts and can give a completely fair judgment, see Rom. 14:10. On the other hand, as we see already in the next chapter, we must judge what is good and evil, see 1 Cor. 5:11–13; Matt. 7:1–5. Paul urges us to judge and examine ourselves, see 1 Cor. 11:28, 31. See also Matt. 18:15–17.]
