I Corinthians 1:10-11 10 弟兄們，我藉我們主耶穌基督的名勸你們都說一樣的話。你們中間也不可分黨，只要一心一意，彼此相合。 11 因為革來氏家裡的人曾對我提起弟兄們來，說你們中間有紛爭。 10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you.

I Corinthians 6:9-11 9 你們豈不知不義的人不能承受　神的國嗎？不要自欺！無論是淫亂的、拜偶像的、姦淫的、作孌童的、親男色的、 10 偷竊的、貪婪的、醉酒的、辱罵的、勒索的，都不能承受　神的國。 11 你們中間也有人從前是這樣；但如今你們奉主耶穌基督的名，並藉著我們　神的靈，已經洗淨，成聖，稱義了。 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

II Corinthians 2:4 4 我先前心裡難過痛苦，多多的流淚，寫信給你們，不是叫你們憂愁，乃是叫你們知道我格外的疼愛你們。 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.

I Corinthians 1:6-9 6 正如我為基督作的見證，在你們心裡得以堅固， 7 以致你們在恩賜上沒有一樣不及人的，等候我們的主耶穌基督顯現。 8 他也必堅固你們到底，叫你們在我們主耶穌基督的日子無可責備。 9 　神是信實的，你們原是被他所召，好與他兒子─我們的主耶穌基督一同得分 (koinonia)。 6 even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, 7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
