for you are yet carnal. For when there is envy and strife among you are you not carnal and walk as men? For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I, of Apollos, are you not men?

For first, when you come together in an assembly, I hear that there are divisions among you, and some part of it I believe. For it is necessary that there should be heresies among you, that the approved may be manifest among you.

I exhort you, brothers, by 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 in the same mind and the same will. For I have been informed of you, my brothers, by the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. I mean this; that each one of you says I indeed am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. read more.
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?


Let him therefore that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret,

and to another the performance of mighty works, and to another prophecy, and to another discrimination of spirits, and to another different tongues, and to another an interpretation of tongues;

have all gifts of performing cures? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you should prophesy; and he that prophesies is greater than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the assembly may receive edification.

What then is [to be done] brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a revelation, has an interpretation; let all things be done for edification. If any one speaks with a tongue, let it be by two or at most by three, and by turns, and let one interpret; and if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
