1 Corinthians 4:6
I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written
There is wisdom in not wandering beyond the fences God provides for us in His Word. No one should go beyond God's wisdom - not followers or leaders, not congregants or pastors, sheep or shepherds. Paul and Apollos were not given a hall pass to go outside God's Word. The source of their strength and wisdom and knowledge was not found in a different place. They put their trust in the Word of God and on it they relied. They oriented their thoughts around God's thought, their practices around God's commands and their livelihood around the Author of life and His writings.
