1 Corinthians 4:3
_ _ it is a very small thing — literally, “it amounts to a very small matter”; not that I despise your judgment, but as compared with God’s, it almost comes to nothing.
_ _ judged ... of man’s judgment — literally, “man’s day,” contrasted with the day (1 Corinthians 3:13) of the Lord (1 Corinthians 4:5; 1 Thessalonians 5:4). “The day of man” is here put before us as a person [Wahl]. All days previous to the day of the Lord are man’s days. Emesti translates the thrice recurring Greek for “judged ... judge ... judgeth” (1 Corinthians 4:4), thus: To me for my part (though capable of being found faithful) it is a very small matter that I should be approved of by man’s judgment; yea, I do not even assume the right of judgment and approving myself — but He that has the right, and is able to judge on my case (the Dijudicator), is the Lord. |
1 Corinthians 4:3
Yea, I judge not myself — My final state is not to be determined by my own judgment. |
1 Corinthians 4:3
(3) But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, (4) or of man's (b) judgment: yea, (5) I judge not mine own self.
(3) In reprehending others, he sets himself for an example, and anticipates an objection. Using the gravity of an apostle, he shows that he does not care for the contrary judgments that those have of him, in that they esteemed him as a vile person, because he did not set forth himself as they did. And he brings good reasons why he was not moved with the judgments which they had of him. (4) First, because that which men judge in these cases of their own brains is not to be considered any more than when the unlearned judge of wisdom.
(b) Literally, "day", after the manner of Cilician speech. (5) Secondly, he says, how can you judge how much or how little I am to be made responsible for, seeing that I myself who know myself better than you do, and who dare profess that I have walked in my calling with a good conscience, dare not yet nonetheless claim anything to myself. Nonetheless, I know that I am not blameless: much less therefore should I flatter myself as you do. |

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
