1 Corinthians 1:10-17

1 Corinthians 1:10-17 a. § 3. THE REPORT ABOUT THE PARTIES, AND PAUL'S EXPOSTULATION. Without further preface, the Apostle warns the Cor [121] solemnly against their schisms (1 Corinthians 1:10), stating the testimony on which his admonition is based (1 Corinthians 1:11). The four parties are defined out of the mouths of the Cor [122] (1 Corinthians 1:12); and the Ap. protests esp. against the use of Christ's name and of his own in this connexion (1 Corinthians 1:13). In founding the Church he had avoided all self-exaltation, bent only on fulfilling his mission of preaching the good news (1 Corinthians 1:14-17 a).
