1 Corinthians 4:4

For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.

In The King James Version

5So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have [his] praise from God.
