1 COR. 1.12. And I of Christ?
That I may finish Pauls reproof from that Text, 1 Cor. 3.4. concerning the Faction• and Divisions at Corinth, I am necessitated to take in this Text, for here is a larger enumeration than in that place; for here is an addition of two persons more, I am of Cephas, I am of Christ. By Cephas is meant Peter; and because he was the Apostle of the Circumcision, as Paul of the Gentiles, Happily some of the believers, who did too much cleave to those legal Ceremonies might advance him. And if that opinion of some be true, That in most Cities converted to the Faith, there were two Churches, the Gentile Christian Church, and the Jewish Christian Church, then this might foment the division more; howsoever the Popish Interpreter laboureth under this difficulty, how they could be guilty of sinful factions, who advanced Peter: but they build upon a rotten foundation.
