1 Corinthians 4:6-7

Stewards of Christ, Fools for Christ, and a Father’s Admonition

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.

7For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
