Read 1 Corinthians 1.10-17. In 1.10-17: Appeal for unity. Full divisions have not yet occurred, but quarrels have. Chole's people, members of her household, are mentioned nowhere else. To belong to someone means looking only to that person for spiritual guidance. Apollos ministered to the Corinthian church after Paul's founding visit (3.5-6; Acts 18.24-19.1) and is now with Paul as he writes this letter (16.12). Whether Cephas (Peter) has actually been in Corinth or was only known by reputation is not clear. Crispus was a prominent synagogue official (Acts 18.18), and Gaius hosted Paul and the Corinthian house church (Rom 16.23). The household of Stephanas later receives high praise from Paul for devoted service to the church (16.15-18). Comments or Questions..
