1 Corinthians / Question
Question source
1 Corinthians
Paul appeals for them to agree and be united because quarrels and party slogans were splitting the church (1 Corinthians 1:10–12). He points out that Christ is not divided and that their identity should not center on human leaders (1 Corinthians 1:13).
10Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe`s household, that there are contentions among you.
12Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
