What Does Paul Teach about in I Corinthians 3:1-9?

 

 

In I Cor. 3:1-9, Paul is rebuking party spirit among Christians in which they favored one human church leader more than others.  This problem showed that they were still spiritually immature, and should only receive spiritual “milk.” They were trying to exalt their favorite Christian leader over others, such as Paul or Apollos.   Paul had earlier rebuked them for this same error earlier in this same letter (I Cor. 1:10-13).  Paul told them that this divisiveness reflected a carnal mind, which means one hostile to God’s law and way of life for humanity (Romans 8:7).  Instead, he told them to focus on and to give credit directly to God for His work within the church, not in the human instruments being used by God for His spiritual work (I Cor. 3:9):  “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
