Bible Verses About Church (2): Dissensions in

My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.

What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?

For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?

First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery.
