1 Corinthians 1:10-16 Now I beseech you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing… I. HOW THEY ARISE. Out of undue attachments to persons or opinions. II. HOW THEY SHOULD BE REPRESSED. 1. Not by seeking the triumph of one party over the other, or by the absolute sacrifice of private opinion. 2. But by exalting these points in which all agree, and cultivating one mind and spirit. III. WHY THEY SHOULD BE REPRESSED — for the sake of Christ. 1. His body is one and undivided. 2. He was crucified for us. 3. We are baptized into His name. 4. None other has any claim upon us. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. |
