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 ORIGINATED. 1. In the disputes of the Jewish and Gentile Christians. 2. Hence one was of Peter and another of Paul — those of Christ and of Apollos appear to have been modifications of these. II. WHO WERE THE PROMOTERS OF THEM? 1. Not Paul or Peter, &c. 2. Not the peaceably disposed, or those who loved Christ above all things. 3. But — (1) Some who unduly idolised the human in religion. (2) Ignorant persons, who had zeal without knowledge (Romans 10:2). (3) Contentious persons, who would have their own way (Philippians 1:16). III. WHAT WAS THE EFFECT? 1. Christ was divided. 2. His claims forgotten. 3. Some human idol exalted in His place. (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. |
