THE
CORINTHIANS
The Corinthian believers were enriched in all knowledge, but were puffed up
and were still babes in Christ (I Cor. 1:5; 8:1; 3:1). Knowledge will not help you grow a
fraction of an inch; it will only keep you in your spiritual infancy. The more you cling
to knowledge, the longer you will remain a babe in Christ. In his first letter to the
Corinthians Paul turned them from knowledge to the growth in life that they might thereby
experience transformation for God's building (1 Cor. 3:6-12). Paul said, "I planted,
Apollos watered, but God made to grow." He seemed to tell the Corinthians, "You
don't need any more knowledge. What you need is the growth in life. This growth in life is
for the transformation which produces the precious materials for God's building. You need
the growth in life to transform you from being fleshly into being genuinely spiritual that
you may become the precious stones for God's building."
