1 Corinthians4:8
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 .
You that are the Teachers at Corinth, or you that are the Members of the Church there, think your selves full of knowledge and wisdom, so as you stand in need of no further learning or instruction.
Ye think now you have got a Kingdom, and are arrived at the top of felicity: and,
I am so far from envying you, that I wish it were so, and we might have a share with you. The Apostle speaketh this Ironically, not that he indeed thought they were so, but reflecting on their vain and too good an opinion of themselves.
