1 CORINTHIANS 1:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.”
What I mean is this: One of you says, 'I follow Paul'; another, 'I follow Apollos'; another, 'I follow Cephas'; and another, 'I follow Christ' — the four factions reveal the Corinthian disease: patronage loyalty. Cephas (Aramaic for Peter/rock) represents Jerusalem authority; Apollos (known as eloquent in Acts 18) represents rhetorical power; Paul represents apostolic pioneering; 'Christ' may be a super-spiritual faction or Paul's counterquestion. All four divide Christ's body.
