1 Corinthians
"Are you not carnal?"
Text: 1 Corinthians 3:4
THE CHARGE OF CARNALITY
It must have been quite hard for the Corinthians to have read this stinging comment from the Apostle Paul charging them with carnality! To the proud, these were “fighting words”. But Paul was just being true to his calling as a faithful servant of the Lord. He could not have ignored the problems that had arisen in the church!
“For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another,
“I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos,
but ministers through whom you believed,
as the Lord gave to each one?”
1 Corinthians 3:4-5
