1 Corinthians 1:11

9 ^aGod is faithful, by whom you were called into ^bthe fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sectarianism Is Sin

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^athat you all speak the same thing, and that there be no² divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

12 Now I say this, that ^aeach of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of ^bApollos,” or “I am of ^cCephas,” or “I am of Christ.”

13 ^aIs Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 I thank God that I baptized ^anone of you except ^bCrispus and ^cGaius,

15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.

By them which are of the house of Chloe - This was doubtless some very religious matron at Corinth, whose family were converted to the Lord; some of whom were probably sent to the apostle to inform him of the dissensions which then prevailed in the Church at that place. Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, mentioned I Corinthians 16:17, were probably the sons of this Chloe.

Contentions - , Altercations; produced by the , divisions, mentioned above. When once they had divided, they must necessarily have contended, in order to support their respective parties.
