1 Corinthians 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 (A)God is [a]faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 [b]Now I beseech you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that [c]ye all speak one thing, and that there be no dissensions among you: but be ye [d]knit together in one mind, and in one judgment.
11 [e]For it hath been declared unto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

- 1 Corinthians 1:9 True and constant, who doth not only call us, but giveth us the gift of perseverance also.
- 1 Corinthians 1:10 Having made an end of the preface, he cometh to the matter itself, beginning with the most grave obtestation, as though they should hear Christ himself speaking and not Paul.
- 1 Corinthians 1:10 The first part of this Epistle, wherein his purpose is to call back the Corinthians to brotherly concord, and to take away all occasion of discord. So then this first part concerneth the taking away of schisms. Now a schism is when men which otherwise agree and consent together in doctrine, do yet separate themselves one from another.
- 1 Corinthians 1:10 Knit together, as a body that consisteth of all his parts fitly knit together.
- 1 Corinthians 1:11 He beginneth his reprehension and chiding by taking away of an objection: for that be understood by good witnesses, that there were many factions among them. And therewithall he openeth the cause of dissensions, because that some did hang on one doctor, some on another, and some were so addicted to themselves, that they neglected all doctors and teachers, calling themselves the disciples of Christ only, shutting forth their teachers.
