1 Take up the epistle of the blessed Paul the Apostle. (1CL) 2 What wrote he first unto you in the beginning of the Gospel? (1CL) 3 Of a truth he charged you in the Spirit concerning himself and Cephas and Apollos, because that even then ye had made parties. (1CL) 4 Yet that making of parties brought less sin upon you; for ye were partisans of Apostles that were highly reputed, and of a man approved in their sight. (1CL) 5 But now mark ye, who they are that have perverted you and diminished the glory of your renowned love for the brotherhood. (1CL) 6 It is shameful, dearly beloved, yes, utterly shameful and unworthy of your conduct in Christ, that it should be reported that the very steadfast and ancient Church of the Corinthians, for the sake of one or two persons, maketh sedition against its presbyters. (1CL) 7 And this report hath reached not only us, but them also which differ from us, so that ye even heap blasphemies on the Name of the Lord by reason of your folly, and moreover create peril for yourselves. (1CL)
