Keep Me Humble

1 Corinthians 3:21-23

New Living Translation

21 So don’t boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you—22 whether Paul or Apollos or Peter, or the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you, 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

The Message

21-23I don't want to hear any of you bragging about yourself or anyone else. Everything is already yours as a gift—Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the present, the future—all of it is yours, and you are privileged to be in union with Christ, who is in union with God.

Amplified Bible

21So let no one exult proudly concerning men [boasting of having this or that man as a leader], for all things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas (Peter), or the universe or life or death, or the immediate and threatening present or the [subsequent and uncertain] future--all are yours, 23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

I was challenged by this morning’s passage. It took more than even these translations that I posted. In the end, the message is very simple.

 It’s not about me. It’s not about you. It’s all about Christ. When you are in Christ, you have everything you will ever need.
