Paul has narrowed the leaders that the Corinthians were fighting over down to two: himself and Apollos, no doubt because it was Paul and Apollos who had become the flashpoint for all the infighting and division. Paul had planted the church and Apollos had come to Corinth shortly after Paul left, and so both men had tremendous influence on the church’s development and factions were forming over – and fighting over - who was of Paul and who was of Apollos.
