1 Corinthians 4:6-8 Now, brothers, for your benefit I have applied all this only to Apollos and myself, by using us as illustrations to teach you the old lesson, "Never go beyond the letter," and to keep any of you from boasting of one teacher at the expense of another.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Now, brothers, for your benefit I have applied all this only to Apollos and myself, by using us as illustrations to teach you the old lesson, "Never go beyond the letter," and to keep any of you from boasting of one teacher at the expense of another. ⁷ For who sees anything special in you? And what have you got that you have not been given? But if it has been given you, why do you boast as though it had not been? ⁸ Are you satisfied already? Have you become rich already? Have you entered your kingdom without waiting for us? I wish you had entered it, so that we might share it with you!
