1 Corintios 1:11 NTV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:10-13

Here the apostle enters on his subject. I. He extorts them to unity and brotherly love, and reproves them for their divisions. He had received an account from some that wished them well of some unhappy differences among them. It was neither ill-will to the church, nor to their ministers, that prompted them to give this account; but a kind and prudent concern to have these heats qualified by Paul's interposition. He writes to them in a very engaging way: ?I beseech you, brethren, by the name of... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

1:10-17 Brothers, I urge you through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you should make up your differences and that you should see to it that there may be no divisions among you, but that you should be knit together in the same mind and the same opinion. Brothers, it has become all too clear to me, from information that I have received from members of Chloe's household, that there are outbreaks of strife amongst you. What I mean is this--each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul; I belong... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:11

For it hath been declared unto me, of you, my brethren ,.... Lest the above advice of the apostle should be thought to be impertinent and needless, and to proceed upon groundless suspicions and jealousies of his, he signifies that he not only had some broad hints of their contentions and divisions, but the whole affair was laid open, and made manifest to him: the thing was a clear point to him; he had no reason at all to doubt of the truth of it; nor could they deny it, the proof was so... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:11

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 1 Corinthians 16:17 , were probably the sons of this Chloe. Contentions - Εριδες , Altercations; produced by the σχισματα, divisions, mentioned above. When once they... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:11

Verse 11 11.It has been declared. As general observations have usually little effect, he intimates, that what he had said was more particularly applicable to them. The application, therefore, is designed with the view of leading the Corinthians to perceive, that it was not without good reason that Paul had made mention of harmony. For he shows that they had not merely turned aside from a holy unity, (58) but had even fallen into contentions, which are worse (59) than jarrings of sentiment. And... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:10-13

The importance of spiritual unity. "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord," etc. Here the apostle comes to the grand object of writing this letter: it was to put an end to that party spirit that had riven the Church at Corinth into conflicting divisions. His remarks on this subject continue to 1 Corinthians 4:20 . There are two things here which show the transcendent importance which he attached to spiritual unity— I. HIS SOLEMN EXHORTATION . "Now I beseech... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

Divisions in the Church condemned. The formative idea of the chapter is now brought into full view, viz. "There are contentions among you," and it is prefaced by the statement of a principle, to which St. Paul earnestly directs the attention of the Corinthians, viz. "that they be joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment," or "perfected together," the stress being laid, as before, on their corporate or organic character as a Church. These warring divisions were not matters... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

Divisions in the Church. How numerous these have been since Paul wrote! How many of them springing directly from human weakness, folly, or wickedness! How alien to the true spirit of Christianity, and to the prayer of Christ—"That they all may be one"! I. A GREAT EVIL . Cause of: 1. Weakness. Cooperation hindered. Strength expended in opposing each other instead of sin and Satan. Great opportunity offered for Satanic attack. Unity is strength; division is weakness. 2. ... read more
