The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: praise of God.
CO1 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to
myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to
think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed
up for one against another.
CO1 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou
that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou
glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
CO1 4:8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings
without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign
with you.
