Out of context, dude. Paul was talking about those in Corinth who were saying "I belong to Paul ; I belong to Cephas; I belong to Apollos; I belong to Christ."

Regardless, the principle transcends the immediate application, like as does " it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not," though its application here is about giving, "For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not." (2 Corinthians 8:12) "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more." (Luke 12:48)

Moreover, thinking and exalting mortal Mary way beyond what which the holy Spirit reveals of her in His word (who says far more of Paul and His labors) is indeed divisive, and thus you have your Catholic Marian movements and societies which further divide Bible Christians from Catholicism.
