1 Corinthians 1:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 For I have heard reports from Chloe’s people, brethren, that there are quarrels among you.[a]
12 What I mean is that each of you is asserting, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,”[b] or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.” 13 Has Christ now been divided? Did Paul die on the cross for you? Was it in Paul’s name that you were baptized?

- 1 Corinthians 1:11 The name Chloe probably identifies a Christian woman of Corinth, some members of whose household have brought the news to Paul.
- 1 Corinthians 1:12 Apollos: one of the important figures in the beginnings of Christianity, and Paul speaks more than once of his sincerity (see Acts 18:24-28; 1 Cor 3:4-5, 22; 16:12). Some scholars think he may be the author of the Letter to the Hebrews. Cephas: the apostle Peter (see Jn 1:42), who may have paid a visit to Corinth.
