1CO 3 4 mmlq figs-explicit ἄνθρωποί 1 When Paul says that the Corinthians are **men**, he means that they are “only” or “merely” **men**. He is not identifying them as humans.

If your readers would misunderstand **men**, you could add a word or phrase that clarifies that **men** refers to a “merely human” view of the world.

In this verse, he goes on to explain how he thinks that **Paul** and **Apollos** should be treated, which is as servants of Christ.
