SIL Translator’s Notes on 1 Corinthians 3:4

3:4a For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,”

For if one of you says, “I listen to Paul,”
-or-
When some people say that they are following my/Paul’s teaching,
-or-

I say that⌋ because some of you say, “As for us (excl.), Paul is our teacher,”

3:4b and another, “I follow Apollos,”

while another of you says, “I listen to Apollos,”

and other people say that they are following Apollos’s teaching,
-or-
but others of you are saying, “As for us (excl.), Apollos is our teacher.”

3:4c are you not mere men?

are you not just like the rest of the world?
-or-
you are behaving like people who do not know God.
-or-
That behavior/talk of yours shows that you are no different from the people of this world.
