About this text

Eusebius of Emesa on 1 Corinthians (single fragment).

Paul tells them not to be eager to avenge themselves, not to judge those who seem to have sinned, and not to be troubled by what is hidden now.

The Lord will bring the hidden things of the ungodly into the light. He will also reveal the purposes of the hearts of the orderly and God-fearing, and praise will come from God.

1He exhorts not to be eager to avenge oneself, nor to judge those who seem to have sinned, nor to be troubled by the faces of mortals who are currently deceiving (1 Cor 4:4–5). For the Lord himself, at his coming, will shine light on the hidden things of the ungodly in the darkness, and will reveal the purposes of the hearts of the orderly and God-fearing ones who act with moderation and without self-will, even though they are currently acting in secret; to these, he says that praise shall come from God (1 Cor 4:5).
