1 Korintus 1:10

1 Korintus 13:2

13:2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

1 Korintus 16:12

16:12 With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, ⁵  but it was simply not his intention to come now. ⁶  He will come when he has the opportunity.

[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.”

[16:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “with the brothers.”

[16:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “it was simply not the will that he come now.”
