And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people,
but rather as people of the flesh as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk,
not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still
not ready, for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and
quarrelling among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving according to human
inclinations? For when one says, I belong to Paul, and another I belong to Apollos,
are you not mere human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through
whom you came to believe as the Lord assigned to each. I planted Apollo’s water
but God gave the growth so neither the one who so plants nor the one who waters
is anything but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one
who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labour
of each. For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Father Michael
Coutts cited about the TV advisory “Viewers' discretion is advised” to let the
viewing public know the presence of violence and coarse language in TV
shows. In the public ministry of Jesus in Galilee, a village of Nazareth, there
were hatred, anger and jealousy ,working side by side. St. Paul taught
his followers to do something good and put value on earthly things. Paul and Apollo’s
theme is to comfort the afflicted and the uncomfortable; to reach out and heal
them; caught up with the message rather than the messager and the message is
Jesus Christ.
