Thematic Bible



for you are still subject to your passions. since envy, and strife, and divisions are among you, are you not actuated by the vices of the animal part? while one cries I am Paul's disciple, and another, I am Apollo's, are ye not vicious?

for first, I hear, that when you come together in the church, you fall into parties; and I believe it is true of some of you. for there must be factions among you, whereby it will appear who among you are the approved.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to maintain all the same doctrine, to suffer no divisions among you; but to be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment. for I have been inform'd, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you. I mean that one or other of you cries out "I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, read more.
and I of Christ." is the school of Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

what is then to be done, my brethren? when you come together, one of you with a psalm, another with a doctrine, another with a strange tongue, another with a revelation, another with an interpretation: let the whole be done to edification. and if any man do speak in an unknown tongue, let but two speak, or three at the most, and that by turns: and let there be but one to interpret. but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and tacitly address himself to God.
