1 Corinthians 4:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 Now these things, brothers and sisters, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos on your account, so that in us you may learn not to exceed (A)what is written, so that no one of you will (B)become [a]arrogant (C)in behalf of one against the other. 7 For who considers you as superior? (D)What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 You are (E)already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you!

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!
