Division

Division Within the Church

There is quarreling among you,

Or so I am told by Chloe.

Must I tell you what to do?

To whom’s allegiance owe we?

Some of you follow Apollos,

Others loyal to Paul.

Some teachings difficult to swallow,

It is Christ we follow, all.

None are baptized in Paul,

I was not crucified for you.

Just once a baptizer,

Was sent to preach as I do.

We are united in Christ the Redeemer,

The One never divided.

Quarrels of the evil schemer,

Are worse than mis-guided.

1 Corinthians 1:10-17
