“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
King James Version (KJV)
4:1 Let a man account us, as servants of Christ - The original word properly signifies such servants as laboured at the oar in rowing vessels; and, accordingly, intimates the pains which every faithful minister takes in his Lord's work. O God, where are these ministers to be found? Lord, thou knowest. And stewards of the mysteries of God - Dispenseth of the mysterious truths of the gospel.
4:3 Yea, I judge not myself - My final state is not to be determined by my own judgment.
4:4 I am not conscious to myself of anything evil; yet am I not hereby justified - I depend not on this, as a sufficient justification of myself in God's account. But he that judgeth me is the Lord - By his sentence I am to stand or fall.
1Co 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. The supreme quality required in a steward is fidelity to his trust.
