- 1 Corinthians 1:10–13
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:10–132 voices
Now I beseech you, brethren - The apostle having finished his introduction comes to his second point, exhorting them to abstain from dissensions, that they might be of the same heart and mind, striving together for the hope of the Gospel. By the name of our Lord Jesus - By his authority, and in his place; and on account of your infinite obligations to his mercy in calling you into such a state of salvation.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
Now I exhort you - Ye have faith and hope; secure love also. By the endearing name of our Lord Jesus Christ - lnfinitely preferable to all the human names in which ye glory.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
- 1 Corinthians 3:3
for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 3:32 voices
For while there is among you emulation in your hearts, strife in your words, and actual divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk according to men - As mere men; not as Christians, according to God.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
There is a gradation, or ascending climax: envying had produced strife, and strife divisions (factious parties) [GROTIUS]. His language becomes severer now as He proceeds; in 1Co 1:11 he had only said "contentions," he now multiplies the words (compare the stronger term, 1Co 4:6, than in 1Co 3:21). carnal--For "strife" is a "work of the flesh" (Ga 5:20).
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
- 1 Corinthians 3:4
For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 3:42 voices
(1Co 1:12). are ye not carnal--The oldest manuscripts read, "Are ye not men?" that is, "walking as men" unregenerate (1Co 3:3).
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
I am of Apollos - St. Paul named himself and Apollos, to show that he would condemn any division among them, even though it were in favour of himself, or the dearest friend he had in the world. Are ye not carnal - For the Spirit of God allows no party zeal.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
- 1 Corinthians 11:18
First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 11:182 voices
Therefore, both heresy and schism, in the modern sense of the words, are sins that the scripture knows nothing of; but were invented merely to deprive mankind of the benefit of private judgment, and liberty of conscience.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
If, however, the angels of the rival god are referred to, what fear is there for them? for not even Marcion's disciples, (to say nothing of his angels, ) have any desire for women. We have often shown before now, that the apostle classes heresies as evil among "works of the flesh," and that he would have those persons accounted estimable who shun heresies as an evil thing.
Tertullian· Against Marcion Book V, 220Patristic
- 1 Corinthians 11:19
And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 11:192 voices
There must be heresies - Divisions. Among you - In the ordinary course of things; and God permits them, that it may appear who among you are, and who are not, upright of heart.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
Hence heresies not only have frequently been originated, but continue to be so; while the perverted mind has no peace-while a discordant faithlessness does not maintain unity. But the Lord permits and suffers these things to be, while the choice of one's own liberty remains, so that while the discrimination of truth is testing our hearts and our minds, the sound faith of those that are approved may shine forth with manifest light.
Cyprian· Treatise I On the Unity of the Church, 258Patristic
