Thematic Bible: Very popular in corinth, where, apparently, a faction gathered about him

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.
