For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

(4) Because when someone says, "I'm surely of Paul (Little)," and another, "I'm of Apollos (Destroyer)," aren't you men?
The F.O.G
[4] When one group proudly declares, "We follow Paul's teachings!" and another boasts, "We're devoted to Apollos!" – aren't you acting just like people who don't have the Spirit's wisdom? You're creating divisions based on human leaders rather than uniting under the Messiah!
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for when one may say, ‘I, indeed, am of Paul;’ and another, ‘I—of Apollos;’ are ye not fleshly?
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
