For you are yet carnal: for while there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 3:3 Go To 1 Corinthians 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Here Paul talks about the particular problem which made the Corinthians carnal. There were other matters, like fornication and uncleanness, which he would deal with later, but first he wants to tackle something which he has clearly been trying to put right for some time. If jealousy makes people carnal, every one of us ought to be crying out because of our sin and covering ourselves in sackcloth and ashes. Who is not tainted with this? I say this of others only because I know how true it is of me.
