1 Corinthians 3:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 for you are still fleshly. For where there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and do you not live like unregenerate people?[a] 4 For whenever anyone says, “I am with Paul,” and another, “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human?
5 Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave.
