Why is not thinking of men above what is written important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Not thinking of men above what is written prevents pride and fosters unity among believers.

In 1 Corinthians 4:6, Paul instructs believers not to think of men above what is written to avoid becoming puffed up in pride. This inflated view of oneself gives rise to contention and division, as seen in Corinth, where factions formed around individual leaders. By grounding their views and judgments in Scripture alone, Christians can maintain humility and promote true fellowship. Recognizing that ultimately everyone is equal before God eliminates competition and fosters a spirit of unity rather than division.
