1Cor.3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?

Fleshly Christian's can be much like little children bragging about the color of their eyes or hair, feeling better than another children having a different color, when they had no choice in what they were born with. It is very immature for adults because they inherited good looks from their parents to feel superior to others.

How foolish, but the flesh takes ownership of everything it comes in contact with, as though it created itself. Here Paul was dealing with very fleshly Christian's in Corinthian congregation that wanted to belong too another human being, a teacher! But who were they created by, a teachers, had they become so blind by the flesh believing a teacher had conceived them as one of the new creation instead of Yahweh? Yes, they had, seeing only the flesh, and its attributes through their teacher, they were captivated like young children worshiping, and giving glory to parent teachers instead of Christ Jesus.

Colossians 2:23 Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren't of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Paul reminded them by asking; “ who was Apollos, and who is Paul”, were they the owner of the body of Christ Jesus, or just another member created by God's own working, like a hand, foot, or some other part of the body? Had these weak Christian's now started worshiping parts of the body, instead of the Creator of it? What immature wisdom is this, the wisdom of the world in worshiping the dead, yes the dead, the flesh is dead, killed, crucified in Christ Jesus?

Galatians 6:12 As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
