Seeing, therefore, that Christ is but one, his ministers but one, and no more than ministers by whom ye believed, 1 Corinthians 3:5; and the principal efficiency of any saving work begun, or carried on in your souls to any degree of perfection, is from God, and the minister's work in that effect nothing compared with his; seeing you are God's husbandry, God's building, not merely man s, and the temple of God, not men's temple; leave your glorying in men, and saying l am of Paul, or I am of Apollos; glory only in this, that ye are Christ s: besides, all things are yours; why do you glory in a particular minister, when all is yours? As if two joint-heirs in an estate should glory in this or that particular house or enclosure, when the whole estate is jointly theirs, all theirs.
