1 Corinthians 3:4

3:4 For whenever someone says, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human?

1 Corinthians 1:12

1:12 Now I mean this, that each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”

1 Corinthians 16:12

16:12 With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was simply not his intention to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.


tn Grk “are you not men,” i.e., (fallen) humanity without the Spirit’s influence. Here Paul does not say “walking in accordance with” as in the previous verse; he actually states the Corinthians are this. However, this is almost certainly rhetorical hyperbole.

tn Or “And I say this because.”

tn Grk “with the brothers.”

tn Grk “it was simply not the will that he come now.”
