1 Corinthians 4:14. Paul was harsh in his letters to the Corinthians church. This was not to shame them, but to warn them and to make them aware of their guilt in regard to their relationship with God (1 Corinthians 4:14, “I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you”). Many times the truth hurts.

1 Corinthians 4:5. God is the ultimate judge of what is right or wrong. As His creatures our purpose is not to upsurge his authority by judging people.
