1 Corinthians 4:6-7

4:6 I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, ¹  so that through us you may learn “not to go beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other. 4:7 For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?

[4:6]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
