1 Corinthians 1 — Context

6

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7

so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10

Now I beg you, brothers, through 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 together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
