1 Korintus 1:10

Divisions in the Church

1:10 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 Korintus 7:5

7:5 Do not deprive each other, except by mutual agreement for a specified time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. ⁵  Then resume your relationship, ⁶  so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

[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.”

[7:5]  ⁵ tc Most later witnesses (א² Ï sy) add “fasting and” (τῇ νηστείᾳ καί, th nhsteia kai) before “prayer.” But such an addition is motivated by ascetic concerns; further, its lack in Ì^11vid,46 א* A B C D F G P Ψ 33 1739 1881 2464 al latt co argues decisively against its authenticity.

[7:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “and be together again.”
