The Judgment of the Lord
He 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).

Fragmentum in epistulam i ad Corinthios 1 Kor 4,4–5 Παραινεῖ μὴ σπουδαῖον ἡγεῖσθαι τὸ ἑαυτοὺς ἐκδικεῖν μηδὲ τὸ κρίνειν τοὺς ἡμαρτηκέναι δοκοῦντας μηδὲ ταράσσεσθαι τοῖς ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος τὰς τῶν θνητῶν ὄψεις διαλανθανόντων, ἐπείπερ αὐτὸς ὁ κύριος ἐπιστὰς τῶν μὲν ἀσεβῶν φωτίσει τὰ κρυπτὰ τοῦ σκότους, τῶν δὲ κοσμίων καὶ θεοσεβῶν δι' ἐπιείκειαν καὶ ἰδιοπραγμοσύνην καὶ λανθανόντων τοὺς πολλοὺς φανερώσει τὰς βουλὰς τῶν καρδιῶν, οἷς καὶ τὸν ἔπαινον γενήσεσθαί φησιν ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ.
