1 Corinthians 4:6-8

Christian Standard Bible

The Apostles’ Example of Humility

⁶ Now, brothers and sisters,^(A) I have applied these things to myself and Apollos^(B) for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be arrogant, favoring one person over another. ⁷ For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you didn’t receive? If, in fact, you did receive it, why do you boast as if you hadn’t received it? ⁸ You are already full! You are already rich! You have begun to reign as kings without us—and I wish you did reign, so that we could also reign with you!
