Paul with great wonder and awe gets our attention to remind us who we are as Spirit-filled Christians and how we are to handle conflict and disputes as a result.

Pride and arrogance was causing issues in the church at Corinth to the point that they were standing against Paul and Jesus with a superior wisdom. Paul has lovingly and will continue to exhort them to change by imitating him and return back to the ways of Christ.
