Thematic Bible






























For I have been informed, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that quarrels are going on among you. What I mean is this, that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul," another, "And I, of Apollos," another, "And I, of Cephas," and another, "And I, of Christ!"

For when one man says, "I am a follower of Paul," and another, "I am a follower of Apollos," are you not simply human? What is Apollos? Or what is Paul? Just servants through whom you came to have faith, as the Lord gave each of us opportunity. I did the planting, Apollos the watering, but it was God who made the plants grow.

As for our brother Apollos, I have often urged him to visit you with the other brothers, and he is quite unwilling to come now, but he will come when he has a good opportunity. Verse ConceptsApollosRight Time For People

A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, skilful in the use of the Scriptures. He had had some instruction about the Way of the Lord, and he talked with burning zeal and taught painstakingly about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John's.

He spoke very confidently in the synagogue at first, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Way of God to him more correctly.

Whoever says, "I am in the light," and yet hates his brother, is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother is always in the light and puts no hindrance in anyone's way.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love is still in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer can have eternal life remain in his heart.
