1 Corinthians 1:10

I beseech [π α ρ α κ α λ ω]. See on consolation, Luke 6:24. The word occurs more than one hundred times in the New Testament.

Divisions [σ χ ι σ μ α τ α]. See on John 10:19. In classical Greek used only of actual rents in material. So in Matthew 9:16; Mark 2:21. In the sense of discord, see John 7:43; John 9:16; John 10:19. Here, faction, for which the classical word is stasiv : division within the christian community. The divisions of the Corinthian church arose on questions of marriage and food (1 Corinthians 7:3; 1 Corinthians 7:5; 1 Corinthians 7:12); on eating, meat offered to idols (1 Corinthians 8:7; 1 Corinthians 10:20); on the comparative value of spiritual endowments, such as speaking with "tongues" 79; on the privileges and demeanor of women in the assemblies for worship (xi. 5 - 15); on the relations of the rich and the poor in the agape or love - feasts (xi. 17 - 22); and on the prerogatives of the different christian teachers (i. 12, 13; 1 Corinthians 3:3-22).

Perfectly joined together [κ α τ η ρ τ ι σ μ ε ν ο ι]. Rev., perfected together. See on Matthew 21:16; Luke 6:40; 1 Peter 5:10. Carrying on the metaphor in divisions. Not of individual and absolute perfection, but of perfection in the unity of the Church.

Mind [ν ο ι]. See on Romans 7:23.

Judgment [γ ν ω μ η]. See on Revelation 17:13. The distinction between mind and judgment is not between theoretical and practical, since nouv mind, includes the practical reason, while gnwmh judgment, has a theoretical side. Rather between understanding and opinion; nouv regarding the thing from the side of the subject, gnwmh from the side of the object. Being in the same realm of thought, they would judge questions from the same christian stand - point, and formulate their judgment accordingly.
