1 Corinthians 3:4-8 For while one said, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?… I. IGNORES THEIR TRUE CHARACTER 1. As mere instruments. 2. Possessing different qualifications. 3. Yet all used of God. 4. For the benefit of them that believe. II. DISHONOURS GOD — because it — 1. Transfers to man the honour due to Him alone. 2. Puts contempt on some of the instruments whom He has chosen. 3. Refuses the benefit which might be received through them. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?WEB: For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly? |
