1 Coríntios 1:11-13 ARC

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:13

Is Christ divided? Has Christ been parcelled into fragments? "Is there a Pauline, a Petrine, an Apollonian, a Christian Christ?" Whether you call yourselves Liberals, or Intellectualists, or Catholics, or Bible Christians, your party spirit is a sin, and all the worse a sin because it pranks itself out in the guise of pure religious zeal. This is more forcible than to take the clause affirmatively:" Christ has been parcelled into fragments." In either ease we see" the tragic result of party... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:13

Divisions. The "contentions" in the Church at Corinth, the report of which had reached St. Paul, and which he here rebukes, were probably not the outgrowth of definite party divisions, but were individual differences as to who among the great Christian leaders should receive superior honour. They were individual strifes, however, that might develop into very serious divisions—schisms ( σχίσματα ) that would utterly rend asunder the fellowship of the Church. It must have been deeply... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:11

For it hath been declared unto me - Of the contentions existing in the church at Corinth, it is evident that they had not informed him in the letter which they had sent; see 1 Corinthians 7:1, compare the introduction. He had incidentally heard of their contentions.My brethren - A token of affectionate regard, evincing his love for them, and his deep interest in their welfare, even when he administered a needed rebuke.Of the house of Chloe - Of the family of Chloe. It is most probable that... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:12

Now this I say - This is what I mean; or, I give this as an instance of the contentions to which I refer.That every one of you saith - That you are divided into different factions, and ranged under different leaders. The word translated “that” ὅτι hoti might be translated here, “because,” or “since,” as giving a reason for his affirming 1 Corinthians 1:11 that there were contentions there. “Now I say that there are contentions, because you are ranged under different leaders,” etc. - Calvin.I... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:13

Is Christ divided? - Paul, in this verse, proceeds to show the impropriety of their divisions and strifes. His general argument is, that Christ alone ought to be regarded as their head and leader, and that his claims, arising from his crucifixion, and acknowledged by their baptism, were so pre-eminent that they could not be divided, and the honors due to him should not be rendered to any other. The apostle, therefore, asks, with strong emphasis, whether Christ was to be regarded as divided?... read more

For it hath been declared Not out of ill-will, but to procure a remedy of the evil; unto me Whom it concerns to know such things, that I may redress them; of you, my brethren Brethren, says Locke, is a name of union and friendship, and is twice used by the apostle in this exhortation to these virtues.

1 Corinthians 1:13-16. Why do you not all say the same thing, namely, I am of Christ, 1 Corinthians 3:23. Is Christ divided? Did one Christ send Paul, and another Apollos, to preach the gospel to you? Is not one and the same Christ preached to you by us all? or is his body divided? See 2 Corinthians 11:4. Was Paul Or any other but Christ Jesus; crucified for you That you should be baptized into his death, as Christians are into the death of Christ? that is, engaged by baptism to be... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

1:10-4:21 DIVISIONS IN THE CHURCHNo blame upon Paul (1:10-17)Paul urges the Corinthian Christians to stop their quarrelling and be united (10). He has heard from people from Chloe’s household that the Christians have divided themselves into factions. Some called themselves Paul’s party. Others, who were impressed with the preaching of Apollos (cf. Acts 18:24-28), formed the Apollos party. Perhaps it was the Jewish group who claimed to be followers of Peter; while a fourth group claimed even... read more
