Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 3:5 Go To 1 Corinthians 3
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
Even as the Lord gave to every man. God gave to each one of His ministers powers of such kind and such extent as befitted his ministry. Therefore they should glory in God alone, not in Paul or Apollos, His ministers. These latter were not the lords or the authors of their faith, but merely the instruments used by God. So Anselm, Ambrose, Theophylact.
