By addressing the Corinthians as "brothers," Paul emphasizes the familial bond among believers, rooted in their shared faith in Christ. This familial language underscores the unity that should characterize the Christian community, reflecting the early church's understanding of itself as a spiritual family.in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Invoking the name of Jesus Christ is significant, as it denotes authority and the foundation of Christian identity. The phrase "in the name" (ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι) implies acting under the authority and character of Jesus. Historically, the early church recognized Jesus as the cornerstone of their faith, and Paul's appeal is grounded in the authority of Christ, reminding the Corinthians that their unity is not based on human leaders but on their common allegiance to Jesus.that all of you agree together The Greek phrase "λέγητε πάντες τὸ αὐτό" (légete pantes to auto) suggests a call for harmony and consensus. Paul is urging the Corinthians to speak with one voice, reflecting a unity of purpose and belief. This call for agreement is not about uniformity in all opinions but about a shared commitment to the core truths of the Gospel. In the historical context of Corinth, a city known for its diversity and division, this call to agreement was a radical and counter-cultural exhortation.so that there may be no divisions among you The word "divisions" comes from the Greek "σχίσματα" (schismata), which refers to splits or factions. Paul is addressing the reality of divisions within the Corinthian church, likely due to differing allegiances to various leaders. The early church faced many challenges in maintaining unity amidst diverse backgrounds and opinions. Paul's concern is that such divisions undermine the witness of the church and the message of the Gospel.and that you may be united in mind and conviction The phrase "united in mind and conviction" translates the Greek "κατηρτισμένοι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ νοῒ καὶ τῇ αὐτῇ γνώμῃ" (katērtismenoi en tō autō noi kai tē autē gnōmē). "United" (κατηρτισμένοι) suggests being perfectly joined together, like a body or structure that is complete and whole. "Mind" (νοῒ) and "conviction" (γνώμῃ) refer to the intellectual and volitional aspects of unity. Paul envisions a church where believers are aligned in their understanding and purpose, reflecting the transformative power of the Gospel. This unity is not merely external but deeply rooted in shared beliefs and commitments, essential for the church's mission in the world.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_corinthians/1.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) Now I beseech you, brethren.--With these words the Apostle introduces the topic which is indeed one of the chief reasons of his writing this Epistle (see Introduction), viz., the PARTY-SPIRIT existing in the Corinthian Church. The treatment of this subject occupies to <a href="/1_corinthians/4-20.htm" title="For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.">1Corinthians 4:20</a>. It is important to remember that the factions rebuked by St. Paul were not sects who separated themselves from the Church, but those who within the Church divided themselves into parties, each calling itself by the name of some Apostle whose teaching and practice were most highly esteemed. The nature and cause of these divisions we shall understand as we consider the Apostle's exhortation to unity, and his rebuke of the spirit which gave rise to them.By the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.--By his previous remark that they had been called unto "the communion" of this Holy Name, the writer has led up to the mention of Christ's name--not in the form of an adjuration, but as reminding them of it. That very name adds strength to his exhortation to "speak the same thing"--i.e., to call themselves by this one name, and not each (as in <a href="/1_corinthians/1-12.htm" title="Now this I say, that every one of you said, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.">1Corinthians 1:12</a>) by a different designation, and that there should be no "schisms" among them. The word translated "divisions," signifies literally a "rent," in which sense it occurs in <a href="/mark/2-21.htm" title="No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old, and the rent is made worse.">Mark 2:21</a> ("the rent is made worse"), and is used three times in St. John's Gospel in the sense of schism or difference of opinion (<a href="/john/7-43.htm" title="So there was a division among the people because of him.">John 7:43</a>; <a href="/john/9-16.htm" title="Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keeps not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.">John 9:16</a>; <a href="/john/10-19.htm" title="There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.">John 10:19</a>). See Note on <a href="/john/7-43.htm" title="So there was a division among the people because of him.">John 7:43</a>, as to the moral application of the word having probably come from Ephesus; and the idea of a tear or rent is carried on in the words, "be perfectly joined together," which in the original signifies the repair of something which was torn, as in <a href="/matthew/4-21.htm" title="And going on from there, he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.">Matthew 4:21</a> we have the word rendered "were mending their nets." The church at Corinth presents to the Apostle's mind the idea of a seamless robe rent and torn into pieces, and he desires its complete and entire restoration by their returning to a united temper of mind and judgment as to word and deed. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 10-17. - Party spirit at Corinth. This subject is pursued in various forms to <a href="/1_corinthians/4-21.htm">1 Corinthians 4:21</a>. Verse 10. - Now. The particle implies the transition from thanksgiving to reproof. Brethren. This very title involves an appeal to them to aim at unity among themselves; and St. Paul, like St. James (James 5:10), uses it to soften any austerity which might seem to exist in his language (<a href="/1_corinthians/7-29.htm">1 Corinthians 7:29</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/10-1.htm">1 Corinthians 10:1</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/14-20.htm">1 Corinthians 14:20</a>, etc.). Through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; that is, by the whole idea of Christ's being and office - the strongest bond of union between true Christians (see the powerful appeal in <a href="/ephesians/4-1.htm">Ephesians 4:1-6</a>). That ye all speak the same thing; that is, "that ye may all with one mind and one mouth glorify God" (<a href="/romans/15-6.htm">Romans 15:6</a>). They were doing the very reverse - each glorifying himself and his party (ver. 12). Divisions (σχίσματα); "schisms" used of bodies within the Church, not of separatists from it (<a href="/1_corinthians/11-18.htm">1 Corinthians 11:18</a>). The word is only used in this special sense in this Epistle. In <a href="/matthew/9-16.htm">Matthew 9:16</a> and <a href="/mark/2-21.htm">Mark 2:21</a> schisma means "a rent;" in John (<a href="/john/7-43.htm">John 7:43</a>; <a href="/john/9-16.htm">John 9:16</a>; <a href="/john/10-19.htm">John 10:19</a>), "a division of opinion." There would be little or no harm in the schismata so far as they affected unessential points, if it was not their fatal tendency to end in "contentions" (erides) and "factions" (haireseis, <a href="/1_corinthians/11-19.htm">1 Corinthians 11:19</a>). Corinth was a place where such divisions would be likely to spring up, partly from the disputatious vivacity and intellectual conceits of the inhabitants, partly from the multitudes of strangers who constantly visited the port, partly from the numerous diversities of previous training through which the various sections of converts had passed. Perfected together; literally, repaired, reunited. In the same mind and in the same judgment; that is, in what they think and believe (νοὶ), and in what they assert and do (γνώμῃ). The exhortation, "be of one mind," in every sense of the word, was as necessary in the ancient as in the modern Church (<a href="/romans/15-5.htm">Romans 15:5</a>; <a href="/2_corinthians/13-11.htm">2 Corinthians 13:11</a>; <a href="/philippians/1-27.htm">Philippians 1:27</a>; <a href="/philippians/2-2.htm">Philippians 2:2</a>; <a href="/1_peter/3-8.htm">1 Peter 3:8</a>). <a href="/commentaries/1_corinthians/1-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>I appeal Παρακαλῶ (Parakalō) Verb - Present Indicative Active - 1st Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3870.htm">Strong's 3870: </a> From para and kaleo; to call near, i.e. Invite, invoke. to you, ὑμᾶς (hymas) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Accusative 2nd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_4771.htm">Strong's 4771: </a> You.
