1 Corinthians3:21
21 Therefore let no man glory in men : for all things are yours .
Seeing therefore that Christ is but one, his Ministers but one, and no more than Ministers, by whom you believed, v. 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 Ministers work in that effect nothing, compared with his, seeing you are Gods husbandry, Gods building, not meerly mans, and the Temple of God, not mens Temple, leave your glorying in men, and saying, I am of Paul, or I am of Apollos, glory only in this, that you are Christ's: besides,
why do you glory in a particular Minister when all is yours, as if two joynt-heirs in an Estate should glory in this or that particular house or inclosure, when the whole Estate is joyntly theirs, all theirs.
