Fragment on 1 Corinthians
Fragmentum in epistulam i ad Corinthios
The Judgment of the Lord§1
1He exhorts not to be eager to avenge oneself, nor to judge those who seem to have sinned, nor to be troubled by the faces of mortals who are currently deceiving (1 Cor 4:4–5). For the Lord himself, knowing, will shine light on the hidden things of the ungodly in the darkness, and will reveal the purposes of the hearts of the orderly and God-fearing ones who act with moderation and without self-will, even though they are currently acting in secret; to these, he says that praise shall come from God (1 Cor 4:5).
