For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
When you're out here saying 'I follow Paul' and someone else is like 'Well I'm team Apollos,' aren't you just acting like you're still stuck in your feelings instead of growing spiritually?
Picking sides with spiritual leaders instead of focusing on God? That's not growth, that's just drama.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the church in Corinth was a young and diverse community in a bustling Greek city, where believers were dividing into factions based on their loyalty to specific teachers like Paul or Apollos. This reflected deeper issues of spiritual immaturity, as the Corinthians prioritized human leaders over the core message of the gospel. Paul addressed this in his letter to help them refocus on unity in Christ.
