Hidden motives of men’s hearts

In 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, care about God judgement and praise. In vs 5, NIV….He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

1 Corinthians 4:1-5
[1]You should think of us as Christ’s servants, who have been put in charge of God’s secret truths.
[2]The one thing required of such servants is that they be faithful to their master.
[3]Now, I am not at all concerned about being judged by you or by any human standard; I don’t even pass judgement on myself.
[4]My conscience is clear, but that does not prove that I am really innocent. The Lord is the one who passes judgement on me.
[5]So you should not pass judgement on anyone before the right time comes. Final judgement must wait until the Lord comes; he will bring to light the dark secrets and expose the hidden purposes of people’s minds. And then all will receive from God the praise they deserve.
