1 Corinthians 4:9
" For I think that God hath set forth us the
apostleslast, as it were
appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men."

1 Cor 4:6
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us
not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
Paul explicitly said "do not think of men aobve that which is written"
Paul also wrote to the Galatians:
Galatians 1:8
But though
we, or
an angel from heaven,
preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed.
So, will this mean there are other references to the Gospel of Christ? remember, ""do not think of men aobve that which is written."
He referred to the Prophets he sent, those prophets who were consistent to his righteousness.

1 Cor 4:6
