| Itaque nolite ante tempus judicare, donec veniat Dominus. Monet illos ne judicent, cum judicandi sint, et habeant duplex peccatum, sicut ait Dominus: Nolite judicare, ut non judicemini; sed exspectate diem judicii Dei, ac si fideles et boni sint. Injuria enim judicis est, si ante cognitionem ejus a servo procedat judicium aut sententia. Qui et illuminabit occulta tenebrarum, et manifestabit consilia cordium: et tunc laus erit unicuique a Deo. Hoc dicit, quia in die judicii nihil occultum erit eorum, quae gesta aut cogitata sunt: et simplicitas et hypocrisis illic apparebit; ut etqui despectus habebatur, forte appareat dignus: et qui aliquid esse putabatur, inveniatur reprobus. Omnia enim nuda erunt in die judicii, et tunc laus erit bene agenti vel cogitanti. Hic enim qui laudatur, improbabile est an dignus sit, sicut et in alio loco dicit: Non enim qui se ipsum commendat, ille probatus est: sed quem Deus commendat, quem utique nihil latet. Ambrosiaster, In Epistolam Beati Pauli Ad Corinthios Primam, Caput IV Source: Migne PL 17.203b-c | Do not judge before the time, until the Lord comes. 1 He warns them lest they judge, when by judging they shall have a twofold sin, as the Lord says, 'Do not judge, lest you be judged.' 2 But let them look to the day of God's judgement, if they are faithful and good. For it is an insult to the judge if before his cognizance a servant proceeds to judgement and sentence. Who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the heart, and then there shall be praise to each one from God. He says this because on the day of judgement nothing of theirs shall be hidden, which was either done or thought, and innocence and hypocrisy shall appear, so that he who was held contemptible might perhaps appear worthy, and he who was reputed something shall be found reprobate. For all things shall be uncovered on the day of judgement and then there shall be praise for deeds and thoughts. He, then, who is praised here, it is possible that he is unworthy, for as it says in another place, 'Is it not he who commends himself who is proved, but him whom God commends,' 3 from whom nothing is hidden. Ambrosiaster, Commentary On The First Letter of Saint Paul To The Corinthians, Chapter 4 1 1 Cor 4.5 2 Mt 7.1 3 2 Cor 10.17 |
