For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? 1 Corinthians 4:7
The Corinthians valued advancement, knowledge and gain highly. They compared their teachers, their wealth and positions against what others had. Again, it sounds very familiar to us! Paul attempts to temper this pride with the reality of God's blessings.
Spurgeon writes of pride, "Pride is the inherent sin of man, and yet it is of all sins the most foolish. A thousand arguments might be used to show its absurdity; but none of these would be sufficient to quench its vitality. Alive it is in the heart, and there it will be, till we die to this world and rise again without spot or blemish. Yet many are the arrows which may be shot at the heart of our boasting."
