1 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 4

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 4:3
  
  a human tribunal: Or “a human court.” Lit., “a human day.” The Greek term for “day” is here used in the sense of a day appointed for a special purpose. In this case, it is a day set by a human judge for a trial or for rendering judgment. As the context shows, Paul was not primarily concerned about judgment by humans, whether by the Corinthians or by some human court on a set day. Rather, he was concerned about the future Day of Judgment by God through Jesus.—1Co 4:4, 5.
