1 Corinthians 4:2
_ _ Moreover — The oldest manuscripts read, “Moreover here” (that is, on earth). The contrast thus is between man’s usage as to stewards (1 Corinthians 4:2), and God’s way (1 Corinthians 4:3). Though here below, in the case of stewards, inquiry is made, that one man be found (that is, proved to be) faithful; yet God’s steward awaits no such judgment of man, in man’s day, but the Lord’s judgment in His great day. Another argument against the Corinthians for their partial preferences of certain teachers for their gifts: whereas what God requires in His stewards is faithfulness (1 Samuel 3:20, Margin; Hebrews 3:5); as indeed is required in earthly stewards, but with this difference (1 Corinthians 4:3), that God’s stewards await not man’s judgment to test them, but the testing which shall be in the day of the Lord. |
