From 1 Corinthians 3: 4. For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?
21. Therefore let no one boast in men.

I do agree, there are far to many misinterpretations! the New testament, I believe was in Hebrew, then to Aramaic, then to Greek, and lets not forget Latin, and finally English. the Men that gave us the KJV had 4 years to pour over, over 6 thousand manuscripts. And there is not any that are the same, trying to make sense of all that was written was a difficult task, as you read you will find that there are words that are in Italics, these are words that never existed in the manuscripts. For instance, where Paul says! let no man judge you, etc, etc, But the Body IS of Christ. here the word [IS] is added,
. but the body is of Christ??????? let no man judge you--BUT the Body of Christ, now that makes sense, as believers we should watch over each-other. Without the [IS] it is much clearer! this is why we should read with Guidance from the Spirit. while reading, when you come across these Italicized words, read the Scripture and eliminate them to see if it makes better sense, if so Ink them out. One other failure we have is that we do not research what we have been taught, trust no ones meanings, or interpretations. We are blessed to have what we have, so be diligent when you study!
