1 Corinthians 4:5

4:5 So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will ⁵  bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition ⁶  from God.

[1:10]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).

[1:10]  ² tn Grk “that you all say the same thing.”

[1:10]  ³ tn Grk “that there be no divisions among you.”

[1:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “that you be united in/by the same mind and in/by the same purpose.”

[4:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “time, until the Lord comes, who will bring to light.”

[4:5]  ⁶ tn Or “praise.”
