12 Now [a]this I say, that every one of you saith, I am Paul’s, and I am (A)Apollos’s, and I am Cephas’s and I am Christ’s.
13 [b]Is Christ divided? was [c]Paul crucified for you? either were ye [d]baptized into the name of Paul?

- 1 Corinthians 1:12 The matter I would say to you, is this.
- 1 Corinthians 1:13 The first reason why schisms ought to be eschewed: because Christ formeth by that means, to be divided and torn in pieces, who cannot be the head of two divers and disagreeing bodies, being himself one.
- 1 Corinthians 1:13 Another reason: Because they cannot without great injury to God so hang of men as of Christ: which thing no doubt they do, which allow whatsoever some man speaketh, even for his person’s sake: as these men allowed one selfsame Gospel being uttered of one man, and did loathe it being uttered of another man.

- 1 Corinthians 1:13 The third reason taken of the form and end of Baptism, wherein we make a promise to Christ, calling on also the Name of the Father and the holy Ghost. Therefore although a man does not fall from the doctrine of Christ, yet if he hang upon some certain teachers, and despise others, he forsaketh Christ: for if he hold Christ his only master, he would hear him, teaching by whomsoever.
- 1 Corinthians 1:14 He protesteth that he speaketh so much the more boldly of these things, because that through God’s providence he is void of all suspicion of challenging disciples unto himself, and taking them from others. Whereby we may understand that not the scholars only, but the teachers also are here reprehended, which gathered themselves flocks apart.
