-iv. It would be outside the present purpose to discuss the light which these extraordinarily important chapters throw on St. Paul's own teaching l ; but it is clear that he is protesting against an un- due desire for "wisdom, " that he maintains that his converts are showing by their quarrels that they are not truly spiritual (irvivfjia. TiKoi), and that it is for this reason that he has been unable to give them the " wisdom " which they desire, or to regard them as they do themselves as "spir...itual. " If it be conceded that the opponents of St. Paul were Trveujuarticot, it is impossible not to think that they were identical with the persons to whom he refers in the opening chapters of i Corinthians. But, if one goes further, and asks if this enables us to identify these persons with the parties of Apollos, or Cephas, or Christ (if there was such a party), the answer must be indeterminate. Everything is possible. Apollos may have been incautiously inclined to philo- sophize, or he may have belonged to the extreme alle- gorizing sect of Alexandrian Jews, or the Christ party may have consisted of those who claimed that they were inspired by the Spirit of Christ, and that nothing else mattered.
