This is how our minds change these scriptures. Rejoice SOMETIMES, Be anxious for SOMETHINGS, but in SOMETHINGS OR THINGS WE WANT, by WORRYING AND STRESSING INTERNALLY ABOUT OUR TESTS AND TRIALS. LORD, please help us to note that what we do with this verse, is NOT what you are telling us to do. Forgive us when we put our own cares on our shoulders, and not ours. Give us that peace, as we obey how you have called us to walk in your spirit. Amen!!!

3:4 Paul … Apollos. Factionalism was the divisive product of carnality. Cf. 1:11–13. †

3:5–7 What then is Apollos … Paul? A humble, but accurate assessment of the roles that ministers play. the Lord gave … God who causes the growth. It is the Lord alone who can give the faith to the spiritually ignorant and dead. Salvation is God’s work of grace to whom He chooses to give it (see notes on Ro 9:15–19; Eph 2:8, 9).

3:8 are one. All the human instruments God uses to produce salvation life are equally considered and rewarded for their willingness to be used by God. But all the glory goes to Him, who alone saves. Because of that, the silly favoritism of v. 4; 1:12 is condemned. See notes on Mt 20:1–16.

3:9 we. Paul, Apollos, Peter, and all ministers are equal workers in the field, but the spiritual life from that field is entirely by God’s grace and power. God’s building. Paul shifts the imagery from agricultural to construction (vv. 10–17). †

3:10 master builder … foundation. The Gr. word is the root for architect, but contained the idea of builder as well as designer. Paul’s specialty was designing and building spiritual foundations (cf. Ro 15:20). He was used by God to establish the groundwork for churches in Asia Minor, Macedonia, and Greece. Others (e.g., Timothy, Apollos) built the churches up from his foundations. That God used him in that way was all of grace (cf. v. 7; 15:20; Ro 15:18; Eph 3:7, 8; Col 1:29). each man. This primarily refers to evangelists and pastor-teachers.

3:11 no … foundation other than. Paul did not design the foundation, he only laid it down by preaching Christ. Cf. 1Pe 2:6–8.

To whom then will you liken Me, That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the dgreatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing. 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”? 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. 29 He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. 30 Though youth’s grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, 31 Yet those who wait for the LORD, Will again new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
