Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 4:1 Go To 1 Corinthians 4
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Paul says this because some of the Corinthians were denigrating him. He did not preach anything different from the apostles. By calling himself a servant of Christ and a steward of the mysteries of God, Paul implicitly points out who the false apostles are. He denies that what they preach is of Christ, because it is not in accord with apostolic tradition. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
