1 Corinthians 4:5 KJV
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 praise of God.
Jamieson Fausset and Brown say our judgment is necessarily defective. A statement I cannot see how could be argued. Because our judgment is defective there is no real place for us to judge the stewardship of others.
We do have this one thing; to learn the word of God and to obey it according to the dictates of our conscience. What others do is their own business as they will also stand before God except that, insofar as we have searched the Scriptures, we are bound to show those who will see what we have seen.
We must not be angry at those who see differently than we do. But we must show them what we see.
