1 Corinthians 4:6-8

Lexham English Bible

The Apostles’ Humility

⁶ Now I have applied these things, brothers, to myself and Apollos for your sake, in order that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, lest someone be inflated with pride on behalf of one person against the other. ⁷ For who concedes you superiority? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if indeed you received it, why do you boast as if you^[a] did not receive it? ⁸ Already you are satiated! Already you are rich! Apart from us you reign as kings! And would that indeed you reigned as kings, in order that we also might reign as kings with you!
