Apostles and Wisdom, 1 Corinthians 3.5-3.17

Apostles and Wisdom, 1 Corinthians 3.5-3.17
but ministers by whom ye believed,Although Paul was the greatest apostle of the New Testament, he nevertheless refers to himself here with a title which has received various translations; the meaning being, "servant," "minister," or "deacon." Paul would not tolerate factions, not even one that proposed to honor him as a man. He believed they were servants to Christ and to his churches, and not lords; they did not assume any authority over men, or pretend to lord it over God's people; there is but one Lord and master, and that is Christ, whom they served, and taught others to obey.
