I Corinthians 4:6-7
Excerpted from: Grace Upon Grace

Do you know what these people were doing? Very simply, they were using the gifts—that God gave to them—to divide the church. They were setting themselves into cliques, one against the other and getting people in the congregation to say, "I am of Paul, I am of Apollos, I am of Peter [and so forth] because Peter represents this, Paul represents this and what Paul has is greater and better than this, and what Peter has is better and greater than this and he is not teaching this, and Paul is teaching that"—and they were using those things to divide the congregation. The apostle was saying, "Look, we all have our gifts. There is not one of us that did not receive what we have."

Consider this right within the framework of I Corinthians 1:29-31. Paul is hammering away at these people because they were so proud, so puffed up, about what God had given them as if it belonged to themselves, as if they had done this without God.
