1 Corinthians 1:10
“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 perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
Paul is writing to the church in Corinth, a diverse and often fractious community in the middle of the first century CE. He addresses divisions that have emerged, with people aligning themselves behind different leaders like Paul, Apollos, or Cephas, rather than focusing on Christ.
What does genuine unity look like in a community where diverse opinions and experiences are present?
