1 Corinthians 3 - Mere Infants

To Paul, jealousy and quarreling are indicators of worldliness and immaturity in Christ.  The call is to maturity through humility.  "Do not deceive yourselves.  If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a 'fool' so that he may become wise" (v. 18).  "No more boasting about men!" (v. 21).  We don't follow Paul, Apollos, Peter, our parents, our pastor, or our friends.  We are "of Christ, and Christ is of God." (v. 23)
