SCRIPTURE

"For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?" — 1 Corinthians 3:4 (ASV)

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are ye not carnal?

Instead of that, they should all have striven together for the defense of the common faith of Jesus Christ. There is no greater symptom of mere infancy in true religion than the setting up of the names of leaders or the preference for this or that peculiar form of doctrine, instead of endeavoring to grasp the whole of truth wherever one can find it.

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Is not this just how common, ordinary men would do? Where is your spiritual-mindedness if you so act?
