Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

In parallel withPhilippians 3:15
Where believers genuinely differ, Paul leaves room for God to reveal what is still hidden rather than forcing the question.
“Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.”
The same thread1 Corinthians 8:2
None of us yet knows as we ought; it is the Lord, not our grasp of every question, who holds His servant up.
“But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”
The same thread1 Corinthians 3:15
God's power to make a servant stand is the same confidence Paul has that the man whose work burns is still saved.
“If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”
