Brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ I beg of you all to drop these party-cries. There must be no cliques among you; you must regain your common temper and attitude.

I determined among you to be ignorant of everything except Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ the crucified.

It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality such as is unknown even among pagans ??that a man has taken his father's wife!

I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there is not a single wise man among you who could decide a dispute between members of the brotherhood,

There must be parties among you, if genuine Christians are to be recognized.

the secrets of his heart are brought to light, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, declaring, 'God is really among you.'

Now if we preach that Christ rose from the dead, how can certain individuals among you assert that 'there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead'?

I do not care about seeing you at this moment merely in the by-going; my hope is to stay among you for some time, with the Lord's permission.
