1 Coríntios 3:4

4 Porque, dizendo um: Eu sou de Paulo; e outro: Eu de Apolo; não sois apenas homens?

1 Coríntios 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 Coríntios 3:4 In-Context

2 Leite vos dei por alimento, e não comida sólida, porque não a podíeis suportar; nem ainda agora podeis;

3 porquanto ainda sois carnais; pois, havendo entre vós inveja e contendas, não sois porventura carnais, e não estais andando segundo os homens?

4 Porque, dizendo um: Eu sou de Paulo; e outro: Eu de Apolo; não sois apenas homens?

5 Pois, que é Apolo, e que é Paulo, senão ministros pelos quais crestes, e isso conforme o que o Senhor concedeu a cada um?

6 Eu plantei; Apolo regou; mas Deus deu o crescimento.
