1 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 4

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 4:4
  
  the one who examines me is Jehovah: Paul was not concerned about being judged by humans. He did not even rely on his own judgment of himself. (1Co 4:1-3) Instead, Paul was deeply concerned about how Jehovah viewed him. From the Hebrew Scriptures, Paul well knew that Jehovah is the one who examines His servants.—Ps 26:2; Pr 21:2; Jer 20:12; for the use of the divine name in this verse, see App. C3 introduction; 1Co 4:4.
