1 Corinthian 3:5-15
The Corinthian Chuch is plagued by carnality - the idolising of people. This leads to divisions in the church. We should only follow God. The idolising of people is about the external and not spiritual. This the the wrong attitudes.
Verse 5 - there are many divisions and parties according to the various apostles. Jesus Himself is a lowly servant. We should worship God, the apostles are just instruments of God.
Hebrew 13:7 - remember them which have the rule over us. Respect them but not worship them. They are not God.
Verse 8, 9. For those who serve The Lord, The Lord is mindful of our service and give us our just reward. We don't glorify ourselves or do we crave for the praises of man.
Verse 10 - 11, Apostle Paul is the architect, God is the designer. A. We must build according to a God specifications, and do work according to a pure heart.
We should do likewise, serve The Lord with pure motives, truly, sincerely and with the right spirit. The Lord will commend and crown us according to our work.
