Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Now I beseech you, brethren - In this verse the apostle enters on the discussion respecting the irregularities and disorders in the church at Corinth, of which he had incidentally heard; see Co1 1:11. The first of which he had incidentally learned, was that which pertained to the divisions and strifes which had arisen in the church. The consideration of this subject occupies him to Co1 1:17; and as those divisions had been caused by the influence of phi osophy, and the ambition for distinction, and the exhibition of popular eloquence among the Corinthian teachers, this fact gives occasion to him to discuss that subject at length Co1 1:17-31; in which he shows that the gospel did not depend for its success on the reasonings of philosophy, or the persuasions of eloquence. This part of the subject he commences with the language of entreaty. "I beseech you, brethren" - the language of affectionate exhortation rather than of stern command. Addressing them as his brethren, as members of the same family with himself, he conjures them to take all proper measures to avoid the evils of schism and of strife. By the name - By the authority of his name; or from reverence for him as the common Lord of all. Of our Lord Jesus Christ - The reasons why Paul thus appeals to his name and authority here, may be the following: (1) Christ should be regarded as the Supreme Head and Leader of all his church. It was improper, therefore, that the church should be divided into portions, and its different parts enlisted under different banners. (2) "the whole family in heaven and earth should be named" after him Eph 3:15, and should not be named after inferior and subordinate teachers. The reference to "the venerable and endearing name of Christ here, stands beautifully and properly opposed to the various human names under which they were so ready to enlist themselves" - Doddridge. "There is scarcely a word or expression that he (Paul) makes use of, but with relation and tendency to his present main purpose; as here, intending to abolish the names of leaders they had distinguished themselves by, he beseeches them by the name of Christ, a form that I do not remember he elsewhere uses" - Locke. (3) the prime and leading thing which Christ had enjoined upon his church was union and mutual love Joh 13:34; Joh 15:17, and for this he had most earnestly prayed in his memorable prayer; Joh 17:21-23. It was well for Paul thus to appeal to the name of Christ - the sole Head and Lord of his church, and the friend of union, and thus to rebuke the divisions and strifes which had arisen at Corinth. That ye all speak the same thing - "That ye hold the same doctrine" - Locke. This exhortation evidently refers to their holding and expressing the same religious sentiments, and is designed to rebuke that kind of contention and strife which is evinced where different opinions are held and expressed. To "speak the same thing" stands opposed to speaking different and conflicting things; or to controversy, and although perfect uniformity of opinion cannot be expected among people on the subject of religion any more than on other subjects, yet on the great and fundamental doctrines of Christianity, Christians may be agreed; on all points in which they differ they may evince a good spirit; and on all subjects they may express their sentiments in the language of the Bible, and thus "speak the same thing." And that there be no divisions among you - Greek, σχίσματα schismata, "schisms." No divisions into contending parties and sects. The church was to be regarded as one and indivisible, and not to be rent into different factions, and ranged under the banners of different leaders; compare Joh 9:16; Co1 11:18; Co1 12:25. But that ye be perfectly joined together - ἦτε δὲ κατηρτισμένοι ēte de katērtismenoi. The word used here and rendered "perfectly joined together," denotes properly to restore, mend, or repair that; which is rent or disordered Mat 4:21; Mar 1:19, to amend or correct that which is morally evil and erroneous Gal 6:1, to render perfect or complete Luk 6:40, to fit or adapt anything to its proper place so that it shall be complete in all its parts, and harmonious, Heb 11:5; and thence to compose and settle controversies, to produce harmony and order. The apostle here evidently desires that they should be united in feeling; that every member of the church should occupy his appropriate place, as every member of a well proportioned body, or part of a machine has its appropriate place and use; see his wishes more fully expressed in 1Co. 12:12-31. In the same mind - νοΐ̀ noi; see Rom 15:5. This cannot mean that they were to be united in precisely the same shades of opinion, which is impossible - but that their minds were to be disposed toward each other with mutual good will, and that they should live in harmony. The word here rendered "mind," denotes not merely the intellect itself, but that which is in the mind - the thoughts, counsels, plans; Rom 11:34; Rom 14:5; Co1 2:16; Col 2:18. Bretschneider. And in the same judgment - γνώμη gnōmē. This word properly denotes science, or knowledge; opinion, or sentiment; and sometimes, as here, the purpose of the mind, or will. The sentiment of the whole is, that in their understandings and their volitions, they should be united and kindly disposed toward each other. Union of feeling is possible even where people differ much in their views of things. They may love each other much, even where they do not see alike. They may give each other credit for honesty and sincerity, and may be willing to suppose that others "may be right," and "are honest" even where their own views differ. The foundation of Christian union is not so much laid in uniformity of intellectual perception as in right feelings of the heart. And the proper way to produce union in the church of God, is not to begin by attempting to equalize all intellects on the bed of Procrustes, but to produce supreme love to God, and elevated and pure Christian love to all who bear the image and the name of the Redeemer.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
divisions (Greek, "schisma", a "cleft", or "rent").

Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886]
I beseech (παρακαλῶ) See on consolation, Luk 6:24. The word occurs more than one hundred times in the New Testament. Divisions (σχίσματα) See on Joh 10:19. In classical Greek used only of actual rents in material. So in Mat 9:16; Mar 2:21. In the sense of discord, see Joh 7:43; Joh 9:16; Joh 10:19. Here, faction, for which the classical word is στάσις: division within the christian community. The divisions of the Corinthian church arose on questions of marriage and food (Co1 7:3, Co1 7:5, Co1 7:12); on eating, meat offered to idols (Co1 8:7; Co1 10:20); on the comparative value of spiritual endowments, such as speaking with "tongues" (14) ; on the privileges and demeanor of women in the assemblies for worship (Co1 11:5-15); on the relations of the rich and the poor in the agape or love-feasts (Co1 11:17-22); and on the prerogatives of the different christian teachers (Co1 1:12, Co1 1:13; 3:3-22). Perfectly joined together (κατηρτισμένοι) Rev., perfected together. See on Mat 21:16; see on Luk 6:40; see on Pe1 5:10. Carrying on the metaphor in divisions. Not of individual and absolute perfection, but of perfection in the unity of the Church. Mind (νοΐ̀) See on Rom 7:23. Judgment (γνώμῃ) See on Rev 17:13. The distinction between mind and judgment is not between theoretical and practical, since νοῦς mind, includes the practical reason, while γνώμη judgment, has a theoretical side. Rather between understanding and opinion; νοῦς regarding the thing from the side of the subject, γνώμη from the side of the object. Being in the same realm of thought, they would judge questions from the same christian stand-point, and formulate their judgment accordingly.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
Now I exhort you - Ye have faith and hope; secure love also. By the endearing name of our Lord Jesus Christ - lnfinitely preferable to all the human names in which ye glory. That ye all speak the same thing - They now spoke different things, Co1 1:12 And that there be no schisms among you - No alienation of affection from each other. Is this word ever taken in any other sense in scripture? But that ye be joined in the same mind - Affections, desires. And judgment - Touching all the grand truths of the gospel.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Now I beseech you, brethren - The apostle having finished his introduction comes to his second point, exhorting them to abstain from dissensions, that they might be of the same heart and mind, striving together for the hope of the Gospel. By the name of our Lord Jesus - By his authority, and in his place; and on account of your infinite obligations to his mercy in calling you into such a state of salvation. That ye all speak the same thing - If they did not agree exactly in opinion on every subject, they might, notwithstanding, agree in the words which they used to express their religious faith. The members of the Church of God should labor to be of the same mind, and to speak the same thing, in order to prevent divisions, which always hinder the work of God. On every essential doctrine of the Gospel all genuine Christians agree: why then need religious communion be interrupted? This general agreement is all that the apostle can have in view; for it cannot be expected that any number of men should in every respect perfectly coincide in their views of all the minor points, on which an exact conformity in sentiment is impossible to minds so variously constituted as those of the human race. Angels may thus agree, who see nothing through an imperfect or false medium; but to man this is impossible. Therefore men should bear with each other, and not be so ready to imagine that none have the truth of God but they and their party.

¹² Now [1161] this [5124] I say [3004], that [3754] every one [1538] of you [5216] saith [3004], I [1473] [3303] am [1510] of Paul [3972]; and [1161] I [1473] of Apollos [625]; and [1161] I [1473] of Cephas [2786]; and [1161] I [1473] of Christ [5547].

¹⁸ Let [2603] no man [3367] beguile [2603] you [5209] of your reward [2603] in [1722] a voluntary [2309] humility [5012] and [2532] worshipping [2356] of angels [32], intruding into [1687] those things which [3739] he hath [3708] not [3361] seen [3708], vainly [1500] puffed up [5448] by [5259] his [846] fleshly [4561] mind [3563],

¹⁶ For [1063] who [5101] hath known [1097] the mind [3563] of the Lord [2962], that [3739] he may instruct [4822] him [846]? But [1161] we [2249] have [2192] the mind [3563] of Christ [5547].

⁵ One [3303] man [3739] esteemeth [2919] one day [2250] above [3844] another [2250]: [1161] another [3739] esteemeth [2919] every [3956] day [2250] alike. Let [4135] every man [1538] be fully persuaded [4135] in [1722] his own [2398] mind [3563].

³⁴ For [1063] who [5101] hath known [1097] the mind [3563] of the Lord [2962]? or [2228] who [5101] hath been [1096] his [846] counsellor [4825]?

⁵ Now [1161] the God [2316] of patience [5281] and [2532] consolation [3874] grant [1325] you [5213] to be [846] likeminded [5426] one [240] toward another [1722] [240] according [2596] to Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:

⁵ By faith [4102] Enoch [1802] was translated [3346] that he should [1492] not [3361] see [1492] death [2288]; and [2532] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147], because [1360] God [2316] had translated [3346] him [846]: for [1063] before [4253] his [846] translation [3331] he had this testimony [3140], that he pleased [2100] God [2316].

⁴⁰ The disciple [3101] is [2076] not [3756] above [5228] his [846] master [1320]: but [1161] every one [3956] that is perfect [2675] shall be [2071] as [5613] his [846] master [1320].

¹ Brethren [80], if [1437] [2532] a man [444] be overtaken [4301] in [1722] a [5100] fault [3900], ye [5210] which [3588] are spiritual [4152], restore [2675] such an one [5108] in [1722] the spirit [4151] of meekness [4236]; considering [4648] thyself [4572], lest [3361] thou [4771] also [2532] be tempted [3985].

¹⁹ And [2532] when he had gone [4260] a little [3641] further [4260] thence [1564], he saw [1492] James [2385] the son [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], who [846] also [2532] were in [1722] the ship [4143] mending [2675] their nets [1350].

²¹ And [2532] going on [4260] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] other [243] two [1417] brethren [80], James [2385] the son of [3588] Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], in [1722] a ship [4143] with [3326] Zebedee [2199] their [846] father [3962], mending [2675] their [846] nets [1350]; and [2532] he called [2564] them [846].

²⁵ That [3363] there should be [5600] no [3363] schism [4978] in [1722] the body [4983]; but [235] that the members [3196] should have [3309] the same [846] care [3309] one for [5228] another [240].

¹⁸ For [1063] [3303] first of all [4412], when ye [5216] come together [4905] in [1722] the church [1577], I hear [191] that there be [5225] divisions [4978] among [1722] you [5213]; and [2532] I partly [3313] believe [4100] it [5100].

¹⁶ Therefore [3767] said [3004] some [5100] of [1537] the Pharisees [5330], This [3778] man [444] is [2076] not [3756] of [3844] God [2316], because [3754] he keepeth [5083] not [3756] the sabbath day [4521]. Others [243] said [3004], How [4459] can [1410] a man [444] that is a sinner [268] do [4160] such [5108] miracles [4592]? And [2532] there was [2258] a division [4978] among [1722] them [846].

²¹ That [2443] they all [3956] may be [5600] one [1520]; as [2531] thou [4771], Father [3962], art in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] thee [4671], that [2443] they [846] also [2532] may be [5600] one [1520] in [1722] us [2254]: that [2443] the world [2889] may believe [4100] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165].
²² And [2532] the glory [1391] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] I [1473] have given [1325] them [846]; that [2443] they may be [5600] one [1520], even as [2531] we [2249] are [2070] one [1520]:
²³ I [1473] in [1722] them [846], and [2532] thou [4771] in [1722] me [1698], that [2443] they may be [5600] made perfect [5048] in [1519] one [1520]; and [2532] that [2443] the world [2889] may know [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165], and [2532] hast loved [25] them [846], as [2531] thou hast loved [25] me [1691].

¹⁷ These things [5023] I command [1781] you [5213], that [2443] ye love [25] one another [240].

³⁴ A new [2537] commandment [1785] I give [1325] unto you [5213], That [2443] ye love [25] one another [240]; as [2531] I have loved [25] you [5209], that [2443] ye [5210] also [2532] love [25] one another [240].

¹⁵ Of [1537] whom [3739] the whole [3956] family [3965] in [1722] heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1909] [1093] is named [3687],

¹⁷ For [1063] Christ [5547] sent [649] me [3165] not [3756] to baptize [907], but [235] to preach the gospel [2097]: not [3756] with [1722] wisdom [4678] of words [3056], lest [3363] the cross [4716] of Christ [5547] should be made of none effect [2758].
¹⁸ For [1063] the preaching [3056] of the cross [4716] is [2076] to them [3303] that perish [622] foolishness [3472]; but [1161] unto us [2254] which are saved [4982] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316].
¹⁹ For [1063] it is written [1125], I will destroy [622] the wisdom [4678] of the wise [4680], and [2532] will bring to nothing [114] the understanding [4907] of the prudent [4908].
²⁰ Where [4226] is the wise [4680]? where [4226] is the scribe [1122]? where [4226] is the disputer [4804] of this [5127] world [165]? hath [3471] not [3780] God [2316] made foolish [3471] the wisdom [4678] of this [5127] world [2889]?
²¹ For [1063] after [1894] that in [1722] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316] the world [2889] by [1223] wisdom [4678] knew [1097] not [3756] God [2316], it pleased [2106] God [2316] by [1223] the foolishness [3472] of preaching [2782] to save [4982] them that believe [4100].
²² For [2532] [1894] the Jews [2453] require [154] a sign [4592], and [2532] the Greeks [1672] seek [2212] after wisdom [4678]:
²³ But [1161] we [2249] preach [2784] Christ [5547] crucified [4717], unto the Jews [2453] a stumblingblock [3303] [4625], and [1161] unto the Greeks [1672] foolishness [3472];
²⁴ But [1161] unto them [846] which [3588] are called [2822], both [5037] Jews [2453] and [2532] Greeks [1672], Christ [5547] the power [1411] of God [2316], and [2532] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316].
²⁵ Because [3754] the foolishness [3474] of God [2316] is [2076] wiser than [4680] men [444]; and [2532] the weakness [772] of God [2316] is [2076] stronger than [2478] men [444].
²⁶ For [1063] ye see [991] your [5216] calling [2821], brethren [80], how that [3754] not [3756] many [4183] wise men [4680] after [2596] the flesh [4561], not [3756] many [4183] mighty [1415], not [3756] many [4183] noble [2104], are called:
²⁷ But [235] God [2316] hath chosen [1586] the foolish things [3474] of the world [2889] to [2443] confound [2617] the wise [4680]; and [2532] God [2316] hath chosen [1586] the weak things [772] of the world [2889] to [2443] confound [2617] the things which are mighty [2478];
²⁸ And [2532] base things [36] of the world [2889], and [2532] things which are despised [1848], hath [1586] God [2316] chosen [1586], yea, and [2532] things which [3588] are [5607] not [3361], to [2443] bring to nought [2673] things that are [5607]:
²⁹ That [3704] no [3361] [3956] flesh [4561] should glory [2744] in his presence [1799] [846].
³⁰ But [1161] of [1537] him [846] are [2075] ye [5210] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], who [3739] of [575] God [2316] is made [1096] unto us [2254] [5037] wisdom [4678], and righteousness [1343], and [2532] sanctification [38], and [2532] redemption [629]:
³¹ That [2443], according as [2531] it is written [1125], He that glorieth [2744], let him glory [2744] in [1722] the Lord [2962].

¹¹ For [1063] it hath been declared [1213] unto me [3427] of [4012] you [5216], my [3450] brethren [80], by [5259] them which are of the house [3588] of Chloe [5514], that [3754] there are [1526] contentions [2054] among [1722] you [5213].

¹³ These [3778] have [2192] one [3391] mind [1106], and [2532] shall give [1239] their [1438] power [1411] and [2532] strength [1849] unto the beast [2342].

²³ But [1161] I see [991] another [2087] law [3551] in [1722] my [3450] members [3196], warring against [497] the law [3551] of my [3450] mind [3563], and [2532] bringing [163] me [3165] into captivity [163] to the law [3551] of sin [266] which [3588] is [5607] in [1722] my [3450] members [3196].

¹⁰ But [1161] the God [2316] of all [3956] grace [5485], who [3588] hath called [2564] us [2248] unto [1519] his [846] eternal [166] glory [1391] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], after that ye have suffered [3958] a while [3641], [846] make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675], stablish [4741], strengthen [4599], settle [2311] you.

⁴⁰ The disciple [3101] is [2076] not [3756] above [5228] his [846] master [1320]: but [1161] every one [3956] that is perfect [2675] shall be [2071] as [5613] his [846] master [1320].

¹⁶ And [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Hearest thou [191] what [5101] these [3778] say [3004]? And [1161] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Yea [3483]; have ye never [3763] read [314], [3754] Out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of babes [3516] and [2532] sucklings [2337] thou hast perfected [2675] praise [136]?

¹³ Is [3307] Christ [5547] divided [3307]? [3361] was [4717] Paul [3972] crucified [4717] for [5228] you [5216]? or [2228] were ye baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of Paul [3972]?

¹⁷ Now [1161] in this [5124] that I declare [3853] unto you I praise [1867] you not [3756], that [3754] ye come together [4905] not [3756] for [1519] the better [2909], but [235] for [1519] the worse [2276].
¹⁸ For [1063] [3303] first of all [4412], when ye [5216] come together [4905] in [1722] the church [1577], I hear [191] that there be [5225] divisions [4978] among [1722] you [5213]; and [2532] I partly [3313] believe [4100] it [5100].
¹⁹ For [1063] there must [1163] be [1511] also [2532] heresies [139] among [1722] you [5213], that [2443] they which are approved [1384] may be made [1096] manifest [5318] among [1722] you [5213].
²⁰ When ye [5216] come together [4905] therefore [3767] into [1909] one place [846], this is [2076] not [3756] to eat [5315] the Lord's [2960] supper [1173].
²¹ For [1063] in [1722] eating [5315] every one [1538] taketh before [4301] other his own [2398] supper [1173]: and [2532] one [3739] [3303] is hungry [3983], and [1161] another [3739] is drunken [3184].
²² What [1063]? have ye [2192] not [3378] houses [3614] to eat [2068] and [2532] to drink [4095] in [1519]? or [2228] despise ye [2706] the church [1577] of God [2316], and [2532] shame [2617] them that have [2192] not [3361]? What [5101] shall I say [2036] to you [5213]? shall I praise [1867] you [5209] in [1722] this [5129]? I praise [1867] you not [3756].

⁵ But [1161] every [3956] woman [1135] that prayeth [4336] or [2228] prophesieth [4395] with her head [2776] uncovered [177] dishonoureth [2617] her [1438] head [2776]: for [1063] that is [2076] even [2532] all one [1520] as if [846] she were shaven [3587].
⁶ For [1063] if [1487] the woman [1135] be [2619] not [3756] covered [2619], let her [2751] also [2532] be shorn [2751]: but [1161] if [1487] it be a shame [149] for a woman [1135] to be shorn [2751] or [2228] shaven [3587], let her be covered [2619].
⁷ For [1063] a man [435] indeed [3303] ought [3784] not [3756] to cover [2619] his head [2776], forasmuch as he is [5225] the image [1504] and [2532] glory [1391] of God [2316]: but [1161] the woman [1135] is [2076] the glory [1391] of the man [435].
⁸ For [1063] the man [435] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] the woman [1135]; but [235] the woman [1135] of [1537] the man [435].
⁹ [1063] [2532] Neither [3756] was [2936] the man [435] created [2936] for [1223] the woman [1135]; but [235] the woman [1135] for [1223] the man [435].
¹⁰ For this [5124] cause [1223] ought [3784] the woman [1135] to have [2192] power [1849] on [1909] her head [2776] because [1223] of the angels [32].
¹¹ Nevertheless [4133] neither [3777] is the man [435] without [5565] the woman [1135], neither [3777] the woman [1135] without [5565] the man [435], in [1722] the Lord [2962].
¹² For [1063] as [5618] the woman [1135] is of [1537] the man [435], even so [3779] is the man [435] also [2532] by [1223] the woman [1135]; but [1161] all things [3956] of [1537] God [2316].
¹³ Judge [2919] in [1722] yourselves [5213] [846]: is it [2076] comely [4241] that a woman [1135] pray [4336] unto God [2316] uncovered [177]?
¹⁴ Doth [2228] not even [3761] nature [5449] itself [846] teach [1321] you [5209], that [3754], if [1437] [3303] a man [435] have long hair [2863], it is [2076] a shame [819] unto him [846]?
¹⁵ But [1161] if [1437] a woman [1135] have long hair [2863], it is [2076] a glory [1391] to her [846]: for [3754] her hair [2864] is given [1325] her [846] for [473] a covering [4018].

²⁰ But [235] I say, that [3754] the things which [3739] the Gentiles [1484] sacrifice [2380], they sacrifice [2380] to devils [1140], and [2532] not [3756] to God [2316]: and [1161] I would [2309] not [3756] that ye [5209] should have [1096] fellowship [2844] with devils [1140].

⁷ Howbeit [235] there is not [3756] in [1722] every man [3956] that knowledge [1108]: for [1161] some [5100] with conscience [4893] of the idol [1497] unto [2193] this hour [737] eat [2068] it as [5613] a thing offered unto an idol [1494]; and [2532] their [846] conscience [4893] being [5607] weak [772] is defiled [3435].

¹² But [1161] to the rest [3062] speak [3004] I [1473], not [3756] the Lord [2962]: If any [1536] brother [80] hath [2192] a wife [1135] that believeth not [571], and [2532] she [846] be pleased [4909] to dwell [3611] with [3326] him [846], let him [863] not [3361] put [863] her [846] away [863].

⁵ Defraud ye [650] not [3361] one the other [240], except [1509] [302] it be [5100] with [1537] consent [4859] for [4314] a time [2540], that [2443] ye may give yourselves [4980] to fasting [3521] and [2532] prayer [4335]; and [2532] come [4905] together [1909] [846] again [3825], that [3363] Satan [4567] tempt [3985] you [5209] not [3363] for [1223] your [5216] incontinency [192].

³ Let [591] the husband [435] render [591] unto the wife [1135] due [3784] benevolence [2133]: and [1161] likewise [3668] also [2532] the wife [1135] unto the husband [435].

¹⁹ There was [1096] a division [4978] therefore [3767] again [3825] among [1722] the Jews [2453] for [1223] these [5128] sayings [3056].

⁴³ So [3767] there was [1096] a division [4978] among [1722] the people [3793] because [1223] of him [846].

²¹ No man [3762] also [2532] seweth [1976] a piece [1915] of new [46] cloth [4470] on [1909] an old [3820] garment [2440]: else [1490] the new piece [2537] that filled it up [4138] taketh away [142] from [846] the old [3820], and [2532] the rent [4978] is made [1096] worse [5501].

¹⁶ [1161] No man [3762] putteth [1911] a piece [1915] of new [46] cloth [4470] unto [1909] an old [3820] garment [2440], for [1063] that which is put in to fill it up [4138] taketh [142] [846] from [575] the garment [2440], and [2532] the rent [4978] is made [1096] worse [5501].

¹⁹ There was [1096] a division [4978] therefore [3767] again [3825] among [1722] the Jews [2453] for [1223] these [5128] sayings [3056].

²⁴ But [4133] woe [3759] unto you [5213] that are rich [4145]! for [3754] ye have received [568] your [5216] consolation [3874].
