30. Do Not Think Beyond What is Written - 1 Co 4:6–7

When Paul urges the Corinthians not to go beyond what is written, he argues that they should hold to what today we call a biblical worldview. Paul's frequent use of Old Testament scriptures in his writings indicates his continuity with an affirmation of the premises set forth by the prophets who came before him regarding the nature of God in relationship to humanity. Through his references, Paul upholds and builds upon the foundational understanding of God's character and His interaction with mankind as established in the Hebrew Scriptures.
