In 1 Corinthians 4:6-21, Paul wants us to not boast as though we did not receive everything we have. We avoid getting puffed up by imitating him as he imitates Christ, and we can do this in healthcare primarily by being content with weakness, laboring with our own hands, and responding graciously to reviling, persecution, and slander. Let us remind each other of the ways of Christ and remember that the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.
