- 1 Corinthians 1:10 The divisions in the Church cannot be regarded simply as a phenomenon inevitable in any form of communal life. The divisions here bear on essentials; they show that the Gospel has not been understood and that people had an erroneous idea of the role of the apostles.
- 1 Corinthians 1:11 The name Chloe probably identifies a Christian woman of Corinth, some members of whose household have brought the news to Paul.
