But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
Honestly? I really don't care what you think of me, or what anyone else thinks for that matter. I don't even trust my own judgment about myself.
Other people's opinions of you, including your own, aren't the final word.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the church in Corinth was plagued by divisions as believers aligned themselves with different leaders like Paul and Apollos, leading to quarrels and judgments about their ministries. Paul wrote this letter to correct these issues and assert that true authority comes from God, not human opinions. In this verse, he personally dismisses the Corinthians' judgments of him, emphasizing that even his own self-assessment is not the final word.
