Paul continues his thoughts from our last reading into today’s chapter concerning the way leaders are revered among the Corinthian church. As you’ll recall they had been attaching themselves to particular leaders within the church, causing unnecessary division. One shouldn’t be concerned with how others judge, but on how God judges, and he sees the intentions of the heart. Paul doesn’t want any of them to become arrogant, especially those among them who have become arrogant as teachers. Those who instruct may be many, but those who come alongside believers as humble and loving fathers are few. Paul aims to be a father, and he wants others to imitate this posture within the church.
