Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 4:1 Go To 1 Corinthians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul honors the Corinthians by calling them servants and makes this even more precise when he adds the term stewards. For we should not give the mysteries of God indiscriminately to everyone, but only to those to whom they are due and to whom it is right that we should minister.
