You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe – as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things (faith) grow.
So then, no more boasting men! 1Corinthians 3:3-7 & 3:21.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 2Corinthians 4:5.
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with those who think they are important. They use themselves to measure themselves, and they judge themselves by what they themselves are. This shows that they know nothing, and they are not wise.
But, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” It is not those who say they are good who are accepted but those who the Lord thinks are good. 2:Corinthians 10:12 & 10:17-18.
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 6:14. Amen.
