Thematic Bible






























For Chloe's people inform me that you are quarrelling. By 'quarrelling' I mean that each of you has his party-cry, "I belong to Paul," "And I to Apollos," "And I to Cephas," "And I to Christ."

When one cries, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," what are you but men of the world? Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? They are simply used by God to give you faith, each as the Lord assigns his task. I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but it was God who made the seed grow.

In the synagogue he was very outspoken at first; but when Aquila and Priscilla listened to him, they took him home and explained more accurately to him what the Way of God really meant.

This is how the love of God has appeared for us, by God sending his only Son into the world, so that by him we might live. read more.
