1 Corinthians 1:11–13

1:11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters,14 that there are quarrels15 among you. 1:12 Now I mean this, that16 each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.” 1:13 Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he?17 Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?18

14	tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
15	tn Or “rivalries, disputes.”
16	tn Or “And I say this because.”
17	tn Questions prefaced with μή (mē) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “was he?”).
18	tn This third question marks a peak in which Paul’s incredulity at the Corinthians’ attitude is in focus. The words “in fact” have been supplied in the translation to make this rhetorical juncture clear.
