1 Korintus 1:10-17
Konteks1:10 I urge you, brothers and sisters, 1 by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together, 2 to end your divisions, 3 and to be united by the same mind and purpose. 4 1:11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters, 5 that there are quarrels 6 among you. 1:12 Now I mean this, that 7 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? 8 Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul? 9 1:14 I thank God 10 that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 1:15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name! 1:16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Otherwise, I do not remember whether I baptized anyone else.) 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel – and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless. 11
1 Korintus 3:3-4
Konteks3:3 for you are still influenced by the flesh. 12 For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people? 13 3:4 For whenever someone says, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human? 14
[1:10] 1 tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).
[1:10] 2 tn Grk “that you all say the same thing.”
[1:10] 3 tn Grk “that there be no divisions among you.”
[1:10] 4 tn Grk “that you be united in/by the same mind and in/by the same purpose.”
[1:11] 5 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
[1:11] 6 tn Or “rivalries, disputes.”
[1:12] 7 tn Or “And I say this because.”
[1:13] 8 tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) 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?”).
[1:13] 9 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.
[1:14] 10 tc The oldest and most important witnesses to this text, as well as a few others (א* B 6 1739 sams bopt), lack the words τῷ θεῷ (tw qew, “God”), while the rest have them. An accidental omission could well account for the shorter reading, especially since θεῷ would have been written as a nomen sacrum (eucaristwtwqMw). However, one might expect to see, in some
[1:17] 11 tn Grk “would not be emptied.”
[3:3] 12 tn Or “are still merely human”; Grk “fleshly.” Cf. BDAG 914 s.v. σαρκικός 2, “pert. to being human at a disappointing level of behavior or characteristics, (merely) human.” The same phrase occurs again later in this verse.
[3:3] 13 tn Grk “and walking in accordance with man,” i.e., living like (fallen) humanity without the Spirit’s influence; hence, “unregenerate people.”
[3:4] 14 tn Grk “are you not men,” i.e., (fallen) humanity without the Spirit’s influence. Here Paul does not say “walking in accordance with” as in the previous verse; he actually states the Corinthians are this. However, this is almost certainly rhetorical hyperbole.
