1 Corinthians 4:3

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment Faithfulness is no doubt more urgently required in the discharge of this duty than of any other. But it is not man's province to make the inquiry, but God's. The word translated judgedis the same which is used in ch. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15, and should be translated -tried," -examined." As the Apostle -could not speak unto the Corinthians as spiritual" (ch. 1 Corinthians 3:1), for they were -men" and -walked as men" (1 Corinthians 3:3-4), so he altogether refuses to admit their right, or that of any other purely human tribunal, to institute an inquiry into his motives. The word translated judgmentis -day" in the original As instances of the use of the word dayas in some sense equivalent to judgment, we may adduce the Latin diem dicere, to appoint the day of trial, and our word daysman, i.e. arbitrator, as in Job 9:33. So Chaucer, Chanonnes Yemannes Tale, lines 15, 16:

"Lene me a mark, quod he, but dayes thre

And at my dayI will it quyte the."

And the Dutch dagh vaerdento fix a day, daghento cite, as in a legal process.
