“For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?”
For when one of you says, 'I follow Paul,' and another, 'I follow Apollos,' are you not mere humans? — the return to the faction language (v. 4 echoes 1:12) now exposes the humiliating truth: they are 'mere humans' (anthropoi), not yet mature believers. The divisions they treasure as marks of discernment are actually signs of spiritual infancy. Paul is not naming individuals but the faction mentality itself.
