1 Corinthians 4:6

4:6 I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, 1  so that through us you may learn “not to go beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.

1 Corinthians 9:12

9:12 If others receive this right from you, are we not more deserving?

But we have not made use of this right. Instead we endure everything so that we may not be a hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

1 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
