In 1 Corinthians 3:18-23, Paul once again addressed the issue of division in the church at Corinth (see 1:12-13, 3:3-4). They were divided over their preferred teacher. It seems that each one chose their man based on the wisdom of the world. In fact, when Paul once again addressed the problem here in this text, he returned to the theme of wisdom so prominent in 1:18-2:16. Choosing a teacher based on his eloquence (Apollos) or prominence (the apostles Paul and Peter), and to boast in him was not wise in God’s sight. These men were all servants chosen and gifted by God and worked as one (2:8-9), for the glory of God, not for themselves. The Corinthians needed to become fools in the world’s eyes to become wise in God’s eyes. They had chosen one man when God had gifted them with all things including Paul, Apollos and Cephas! It was not wise to chose one man when others also could help them in their walk with God. They all belonged to Christ (3:23) and therefore, must not be divided (cf. 1:13).
