1 Corintios 3:4

4 Porque cuando uno dice: Yo soy de Pablo, y otro: Yo soy de Apolos, ¿no sois simplemente hombres?

1 Corintios 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 3:4

For while one saith, I am of Paul
This shows what their envying and strife, and divisions were about, and from whence they sprung; and which serve, to strengthen the proof, and support the charge of carnality brought against them; for when one sort made a party for Paul, and set up him as their minister above all others; and said

another, I am of Apollos,
preferring him for his eloquence above Paul, or any other preacher, as appears from ( 1 Corinthians 1:12 ) there was a third sort for Cephas, whom they cried up as superior to the other two, or any other man; and a fourth were for Christ, and despised all ministers whatever:

are ye not carnal?
all this was a demonstration of it: they could never clear themselves from it, they must be convicted in their own consciences of it; to which the apostle appeals: the Alexandrian copy and the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read, "are ye not men?"

1 Corintios 3:4 In-Context

2 Os di a beber leche, no alimento sólido, porque todavía no podíais recibirlo. En verdad, ni aun ahora podéis,
3 porque todavía sois carnales. Pues habiendo celos y contiendas entre vosotros, ¿no sois carnales y andáis como hombres?
4 Porque cuando uno dice: Yo soy de Pablo, y otro: Yo soy de Apolos, ¿no sois simplemente hombres?
5 ¿Qué es, pues, Apolos? Y ¿qué es Pablo? Servidores mediante los cuales vosotros habéis creído, según el Señor dio oportunidad a cada uno.
6 Yo planté, Apolos regó, pero Dios ha dado el crecimiento.
