1 Corinthians Chapter 4. Verses 3–5
On human judgement I rest not my cause,
Injust's men's censure, worthless their applause;
Of others how shall they with truth decide,
Whom passion blinds, and prejudices guide?
But from God's judgement there lies no appeal,
His voice th' unalter'd doom of all will seal;
Then be not prompt to judge, till he appear,
The things of darkness he alone can clear;
Before him ev'ry heart shall naked ly,
And ev'ry secret meet his piercing eye,
Justice by him shall be to all decreed,
And due rewards confer'd on ev'ry deed.

The things of darkness he alone can clear;
Before him ev'ry heart shall naked ly,
And ev'ry secret meet his piercing eye,
Justice by him shall be to all decreed,
And due rewards confer'd on ev'ry deed.
