1 Corinthians 4:6 ASV
Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.
It is a lesson of humility. Do not puff yourself up with exaggerated ways of knowing.
Philippians 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves
Stay humble and objective. Don't go wild and over-interpret. Always willing to see from the other person's perspective. This will free you from the warning in Proverbs 18:2
Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.
