The Apostle of Christ Jesus

1Cor.1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 1:2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, no pretense in Paul's Spirit directed message to his brothers and sisters in Corinthians. He accepted no honor from men, nor did he address them with division of fleshly sects. He thought himself none, but his appointment by God to be an apostle of Christ, and by the direction of Sosthenes his brother.

1Cor3:4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly?

The Corinthian's congregation of God was full of division of the flesh, brothers and sisters looking to teachers in their flesh over the real teacher of Holy Spirit, by their influential words from the flesh. These division permeated the Spirit fill teachings of Christ, and his apostles causing corruption of yeast into the unleavened bread of Christ. Hence, the bread of life that they must have to live in Spirit and truth, and be taught by the anointing Spirit for the entire body of Christ, and what is that?

John 6:33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

The anointing oil of God poured out onto the new king's head, its ran down onto all the body of the king. One Spirit, one faith, one anointing, one head of the body, one mouth of the body, all must be one; Christ in all the body as the king, and the king living in all his body members, no division of the lust of the flesh are found in Christ like the world (a body of flesh which is the world) dying by teaching of the flesh in Satan world, the world these brothers and sisters had been translated out of into a new world of the Christ kingdom in love, the love of the Father and his great mercy.

Ephesians 2:3 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

James.3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

If these brothers and sisters were the foundation of faith born again from the old corruption of their flesh into a new living way of Christ made part of his Spirit body, the temple of God, they would hear the voice of their Master, head, one Shepard, Christ Jesus speaking truth and Spirit through his apostle Paul. For there is no division in the body of Christ all are taught by the same Spirit of the body.

Division does not exist in the body of Christ, it exist in our flesh, and its lust for the works of the flesh. If any had motives of gain for the flesh, for greatness, the power of the Spirit in Christ would reveal it, exposing it as darkness. If teachers were teaching from their own originality, and not from the will of God in Christ Jesus, it would be shown to be foolish wisdom of this world.

John 10:16 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold.{Isaiah 56:8} I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

John 10:30 I and the Father are one."

John 17:21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

1 Corinthians 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

1 Corinthians 10:17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.

1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

1 Corinthians 12:11 But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
Christ did not come to cause unity in our flesh, Christ came to cause unity in one place that has always been unified, and in peace, in the Spirit of God, for he is love, and all that comes from love is a gift of love without division of the flesh. The owning of something beyond love is not the law of Christ that these brothers and sister were called into.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet,"{TR adds "You shall not give false testimony,"}{Exodus 20:13-15,17; Deuteronomy 5:17-19,21} and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18}
13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Colossians 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;

Ephesians 4:15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ; 4:16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

Sadly, division will be caused by the apostle Paul's Spirit directed words, it would cause a fire to the flesh, and its selfish lust, it will cause division for some, but a readjustment for others into the life of Christ. Paul would not uses words of wisdom, but the power he had been given by God, the power of God in truth, and Spirit to correct those loving their heavenly Father YHWH.
1 Corinthians 2:4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

1 Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Revelation 19:13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God."

Heb.4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 4:13 There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

These brothers and sisters had received an anointing by the power of God, through the Word of God, Christ Jesus, not part of this world. They must, as we must be readjusted in the mind of Christ (Spirit lead) not the thinking of our flesh, that is, weak and corrupted, and hated by God. What God had given them freely was because of his love, for God is love. God's love is a treasure surpassing all that is in the world, how should one then conduct themselves in the house of God? We shall soon find out by listening to the apostles Spirit directed words through the mouth of Christ to his body in the book of Corinthian's!
Matthew 13:44 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Revelation 3:22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies."

1 Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don't obey the Good News of God?

Matthew 12:25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Lets us listen to what the Spirit says to the congregation, if we are of the flesh, we will then judge Paul's words from our flesh as evil, but if we are of the Spirit of God created for the body of Christ for God's good works we will delight in the power of Christ kingdom found in Paul and us!

Ephesians 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.

Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe.
