Strife: Ministers should Reprove

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.”

…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?

In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

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