1 Korinther 3:4

Listen to 1 Korinther 3:4
4 Denn so einer sagt ich bin paulisch, der andere aber: Ich bin apollisch, seid ihr nicht fleischlich?

1 Korinther 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 Korinther 3:4 In-Context

2 Milch habe ich euch zu trinken gegeben, und nicht Speise; denn ihr konntet noch nicht. Auch könnt ihr jetzt noch nicht,
3 dieweil ihr noch fleischlich seid. Denn sintemal Eifer und Zank und Zwietracht unter euch sind, seid ihr nicht fleischlich und wandelt nach menschlicher Weise?
4 Denn so einer sagt ich bin paulisch, der andere aber: Ich bin apollisch, seid ihr nicht fleischlich?
5 Wer ist nun Paulus? Wer ist Apollos? Diener sind sie, durch welche ihr seid gläubig geworden, und das, wie der HERR einem jeglichen gegeben hat.
6 Ich habe gepflanzt, Apollos hat begossen; aber Gott hat das Gedeihen gegeben.
