I am not so sure it is just about teaching as the text leads to a discussion of glorying in men or their association with men and not just teaching. But I do believe the works Paul mentions involve what is done in building on the foundation also. That does include more than teaching. It also includes how one conducts himself in the Body of Christ or the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
