1 Corinthians 4:6
_ _ And — “Now,” marking transition.
_ _ in a figure transferred to myself — that is, I have represented under the persons of Apollos and myself what really holds good of all teachers, making us two a figure or type of all the others. I have mentioned us two, whose names have been used as a party cry; but under our names I mean others to be understood, whom I do not name, in order not to shame you [Estius].
_ _ not to think, etc. — The best manuscripts omit “think.” Translate, “That in us (as your example) ye might learn (this), not (to go) beyond what is written.” Revere the silence of Holy Writ, as much as its declarations: so you will less dogmatize on what is not expressly revealed (Deuteronomy 29:29).
_ _ puffed up for one — namely, “for one (favorite minister) against another.” The Greek indicative implies, “That ye be not puffed up as ye are.” |
1 Corinthians 4:6
These things — Mentioned, 1 Corinthians 1:10, &c.

That ye may learn by us — From what has been said concerning us, who, however eminent we are, are mere instruments in God's hand. Not to think of any man above what is here written — Or above what scripture warrants. 1 Corinthians 3:7 |
1 Corinthians 4:6

(7) Having rejected their judgment, he sets forth himself again as a singular example of modesty, as one who concealed in this epistle those factious teacher's names, did not hesitate to put down his own name and Apollos' in their place, and took upon him as it were their shame. And this shows how far was he from preferring himself to any.
(e) By our example, who choose rather to take other men's faults upon us, than to find fault with any by name. |
