In chapter four, Paul takes a moment to defend his authority as an apostle while simultaneously calling the Corinthian believers to humility. He describes himself and other apostles as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God, emphasizing that their primary concern is to be faithful to their calling. Paul contrasts the humble lives of the apostles, who endure suffering and persecution, with the prideful attitudes of the Corinthians, who seem to boast in their wisdom and status. He challenges them to reflect on their attitudes and behaviors, reminding them that true greatness in the kingdom of God is marked by servanthood and sacrifice. This chapter serves as a powerful reminder of the need for humility and the importance of recognizing the true source of our identity and worth in Christ.
