In 1 Corinthians 4:8-21, Paul addresses the issue of divisiveness and carnal behavior in the church, emphasizing the importance of humility and rejecting the pursuit of worldly success and respect. He stresses the need for leaders to be living examples and role models for younger Christians, based on spiritual maturity rather than worldly success. Paul also warns against those who present themselves as superior apostles and asserts his authority in disciplining those who are not acting in the expected manner.
