Thematic Bible: Who is divided


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? who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye have received faith according to the divine gifts imparted to each of them? read more.
I have planted, Apollos watered: but God gave the increase. so then, neither is he that planted any thing, nor he that watered: it is God only that gives the increase. he that planteth, and he that watereth, have the same design: and each shall receive his proper reward, in proportion to his own labour. For we are fellow labourers employed by God: you are his field, and his mansion.

Now in what I am going to say, I do not commend you, because your assemblies are not to your advantage, but to your prejudice. 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. read more.
when you thus assemble therefore, this is not eating the Lord's supper. for in eating every one strives to take his own supper first, and while one is hungry, another is surfeited.
