1 Corinthians 1:10-17
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
God’s Wisdom Is Better Than the World’s Wisdom
10 Brothers and sisters, I encourage all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to agree with each other and not to split into opposing groups. I want you to be united in your understanding and opinions. 11 Brothers and sisters, some people from Chloe’s family have made it clear to me that you are quarreling among yourselves. 12 This is what I mean: Each of you is saying, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,”[a] or “I follow Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in Paul’s name? 14 I thank God that[b] I didn’t baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius 15 so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. 16 I also baptized Stephanas and his family. Beyond that, I’m not sure whether I baptized anyone else. 17 Christ didn’t send me to baptize. Instead, he sent me to spread the Good News. I didn’t use intellectual arguments. That would have made the cross of Christ lose its meaning.
these are my thoughts please share yours
As brother and sisters in Christ we arwe to encourage one another to serve Jesus. We are not to put division between us and another believers however sometimes we may go apart remember Paul and Barnabas. We are not to think we are better than another group of Christians. Most cities today have more than one church or have none imagine if all the churches in one city could work together, then the Lord's work could be done in a much larger way than it is done today.
shine God's love
