1Cor 3:22 | MHM | STEP | v. 22 : Paul explains that all ministers, whether Paul, Apollos, or Cephas (Peter), belong to the believers. They are not in competition with one another but are united in building up the church. Paul then goes further, saying that not only do ministers belong to them, but “all things are yours.” The world, life, death, things present, and things to come all work for the good of those who belong to Christ. This does not mean believers own the world, but that everything is under God’s control and will ultimately serve their best interests (Psalm 84:11; 1 Corinthians 3:22 ).
