1 Corinthians 4:4
1 Corinthians 4:1-4 The Message (MSG)
Don’t imagine us leaders to be something we aren’t. We are servants of Christ, not his masters. We are guides into God’s divine secrets, not security guards posted to protect them. The requirements for a good guide are reliability and accurate knowledge. It matters very little to me what you think of me, even less where I rank in popular opinion. I don’t even rank myself. Comparisons in these matters are pointless. I’m not aware of anything that would disqualify me from being a good guide for you, but that doesn’t mean much. The Master makes that judgment.
1 Corinthians 4:4 King James Version (KJV)
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians 4:4 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians 4:4 New Century Version (NCV)
I know of no wrong I have done, but this does not make me right before the Lord. The Lord is the One who judges me.
1 Corinthians 4:4 American Standard Version (ASV)
For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians 4:4 New International Version (NIV)
My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.
1 Corinthians 4:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

I am aware of nothing against myself and I feel blameless, but I am not by this acquitted [before God]. It is the Lord who judges me.
1 Corinthians 4:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
My conscience is clear, but that doesn’t prove I’m right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide.
