1 Corinthians 4:5
_ _ Disproving the judicial power claimed by the Romish priesthood in the confessional.
_ _ Therefore — as the Lord is the sole Decider or Dijudicator.
_ _ judge — not the same Greek word as in 1 Corinthians 4:3, 1 Corinthians 4:4, where the meaning is to approve of or decide on, the merits of one’s case. Here all judgments in general are forbidden, which would, on our part, presumptuously forestall God’s prerogative of final judgment.
_ _ Lord — Jesus Christ, whose “ministers” we are (1 Corinthians 4:1), and who is to be the judge (John 5:22, John 5:27; Acts 10:42; Acts 17:31).
_ _ manifest ... hearts — Our judgments now (as those of the Corinthians respecting their teachers) are necessarily defective; as we only see the outward act, we cannot see the motives of “hearts.” “Faithfulness” (1 Corinthians 4:2) will hereby be estimated, and the “Lord” will “justify,” or the reverse (1 Corinthians 4:4), according to the state of the heart.
_ _ then shall every man have praise — (1 Corinthians 3:8; 1 Samuel 26:23; Matthew 25:21, Matthew 25:23, Matthew 25:28). Rather, “his due praise,” not exaggerated praise, such as the Corinthians heaped on favorite teachers; “the praise” (so the Greek) due for acts estimated by the motives. “Then,” not before: therefore wait till then (James 5:7). |
1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the time — Appointed for judging all men. Until the Lord come, who, in order to pass a righteous judgment, which otherwise would be impossible, will both bring to light the things which are now covered with impenetrable darkness, and manifest the most secret springs of action, the principles and intentions of every heart. And then shall every one — Every faithful steward, have praise of God. |
1 Corinthians 4:5
(6) Therefore judge nothing 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 (d) praise of God.
(6) A third reason proceeding from a conclusion, as it were, out of the former reasons. It is God's office to esteem every man according to his value, because he knows the secrets of the heart, which men for the most part are ignorant of. Therefore this judgment does not pertain to you.
(d) One could not be praised above the rest, without the others being blamed: and he mentions praise rather than lack of praise, because the beginning of this dispute was this, that they gave more to some men than was appropriate. |

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.
James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
