1 Corinthians 4

1 - 13 The Ministry of the Apostles

We must think of ourselves are servants to Christ and stewards of God's mysteries (the gospel). Don't worry about who will judge you (Paul states he doesn't judge himself).

What does the saying "Nothing beyond what is written" mean? Paul states that no one should be "puffed up" in favor of one against the other. I see this "puffing up" a lot between the different denominations.

8. Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! I think I wrote about this in an earlier entry - but of course, Paul is talking about spiritual riches.

14 - 21 Fatherly Admonition

Paul speaks to the Corinthians as a "father of the gospel." He wishes them to become imitators of him.
