Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 4:3

3 But with me it is a very small thing, that I should be judged of you, or of mans judgment: yea, I judge not my own self .

Those who said, I am of Apollos, and I am of Cephas, did at least tacitly judge Paul, and prefer Apollos and Cephas before him, and it is probable, and will appear also from other parts of these Epistles, that they passed very indecent censures concerning Paul: he therefore tells them, that he valued very little what they or any other men said of him. In the Greek it is of mans day; but it is generally thought, that our Translators have given us the true sense, in translating it mans judgment, day being put for judgment, as Ier. 17.16. where woful day signifies woful judgment. So the day of the Lord in Scripture often signifieth the Lords judgment: the reason of that form of speech seems to be, because persons cited to a Court of Judgment use to be cited to appear on a certain day.

Yea, saith the Apostle, I pronounce no Sentence for my self, I leave my self to the Judgment of God. I may be deceived in my judgment concerning my self, and therefore I will affirm nothing as to my self.

Marginal references: Or, day.
