About this episode
Dr. James Boice reflects on Apostle Paul's self-evaluation as a minister of Christ in 1 Corinthians 4:1-21.
1 Corinthians 4:1-21 The Apostle Paul called himself “the servant of Christ,” but in his day there really were no servants, only slaves. The Greek word Paul used is better translated “under rower,” the slave who occupied the lowest position in the galley of a ship powered by the sweat of men. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he reflects on Paul’s self-evaluation as a minister of Christ.
