Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
Paul ... Apollos. 'Aleph (') A B C Delta G f g, Vulgate, read in the reverse order, Apollos ... Paul. He puts Apollos before himself, in humility.
Who then - seeing that ye severally strive so for your favourite teachers, "Who is (of what intrinsic power is) Paul?" If so great an apostle reasons so of himself, how much more does humility, rather than self-seeking, become ordinary ministers.
But ministers ... So 'Aleph ('). A B C Delta G f g, Vulgate, have no "but." "Who is Apollos ... Paul? (mere) ministers (a lowly word appropriate here, servants) by whom (not 'in whom;' by whose ministrations) ye believed."
As the Lord gave to every Man_1:-1 :e., to the several ministers (Romans 12:6-7).
