tical judgment (see parls.). P. desider- ates that ὁμονοεῖν and ὁμογνωμεῖν (see Thucyd., ii. 97, viii. 75 ; Aristot., Polit., v. 6, 10; Demosth., 281. 21) in Christian matters, which will enable the Church to act as one body and to pursue Christ’s work with undivided strength.
Ver. 11. The appeal above made im- plies a serious charge ; now the authority for it: ‘‘ For it has been signified to me about you, my brothers, by the (people) of Chloé ”'.----ἐδηλώθη (see parls.) implies definite information, the disclosure of facts.—oi Χλόης, “persons of Chicé’s household ’’—children, companions, or possibly slaves (cf. Rom. xvi. 10): there is nothing further to identify them. “Chloé is usually considered a Cor. Christian, whose people had come to Eph.; but it is more in harmony with St. Paul’s discretion to suppose that she was an Ephesian known to the Cor., whose peopie had been at Cor. and re-
turned to Eph.” (Ev., ΠΕ). ‘‘ Chloé’s people”? are distinct from the Cor. deputies of xvi. 17, or Paul would
have named the latter here; besides, Stephanas was himself the head of a household.—XAéy (Verdure) was an epithet of the goddess Demeter, as Φοίβη of Artemis (Rom. xvi. I): such names were often given to slaves, and C. may have been a freedwoman of property (Lt.). ‘That strifes exist among σοι” (cf. lil. 3, 2 Cor. xii. 20) was the informa- tion given; these ἔριδες, the next ver. explains, were generating the σχίσµατα (see note on Io).
Ver. 12. ‘But I mean this (τοῦτο δὲ λέγω), that each one of you is saying (instead of your all saying the same thing, το), ‘I am of Paul (am Paul’s man),’—‘ But I of Apollos,-—‘ But I, of Cephas,’—* But I of Christ’ !""—€xaoros, distributive, as in xiv. 26: each is saying one or other of these things; the party cries are quoted as from _ successive speakers challenging each other.
