1 Corinthians 4:1
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
4:1. It follows then that all who minister for Christ are responsible to Him. The word translated servants (hyperetas) differs from that used in 3:5 (diakonoi) and stresses subordination and responsibility to a superior. The secret things of God refers to God’s wisdom, the message of the Cross known only by the Spirit’s revelation (2:7-10).
