4 For ^wwhen one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?

5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 ^xI planted, ^yApollos watered, but God gave the growth.

12 What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow ^vApollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

6 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,¹ that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be ^zpuffed up in favor of one against another.
