1 Corinthians 1:10-13

Bible Text

[10] Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. [11] For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. [12] Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ." [13] Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

Corinth was a prosperous Roman port city in Achaia (southern Greece), where Paul had established a Christian congregation. Its diverse, status-conscious urban setting helps explain the factions Paul addresses, as believers were aligning themselves with prominent teachers rather than recognizing their shared identity in Christ.
