1 Corinthians 1:13

Verse 13

13. Christ divided The Christ here is the Christ of 1 Corinthians 1:30, the embodiment of an entire redemption and all connected blessings. Is, then, this Christ whole and one, and the one on whom the Corinthians can be of one mind, (1 Corinthians 1:10,) or is he torn in pieces; each party having a part, or slice, of their own?

Paul crucified Your true Lord and Master was crucified for you; can Paul show his cross as a claim on your allegiance?

For you This clearly implies that Christ suffered for us as no saint or martyr ever suffers for us. He suffered, then, not merely as an example, or simply for our benefit, but in a far higher sense.

Baptized in the name Rather, into the name or authority of Paul, so as to be rightly called by his name. Baptized here expresses the import of the rite, consecrated. Note, Romans 6:3.
