1 ^aBut some men came down from Judea and were teaching ^bthe brothers, “Unless you are ^ccircumcised ^daccording to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and ^edebate with them, Paul and Barnabas and ^fsome of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to ^gthe apostles and the elders about this question. 3 So, ^hbeing sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, ⁱdescribing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and ^jbrought great joy to all ^kthe brothers. ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verse 22} 4 ^mWhen they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and ⁿthe apostles and the elders, and ^othey declared all that God had done with them. 5 But some believers who belonged to ^pthe party of the Pharisees rose up and said, ^q“It is necessary ^rto circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”

1 Corinthians 1:10-13

Divisions in the Church

10 I appeal to you, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verses 11, 26} by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no ^wdivisions among you, but that you be united ^xin the same mind and the same judgment. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there is ^yquarreling among you, my brothers. 12 What I mean is that ^zeach one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow ^aaApollos,” or “I follow ^abCephas,” or “I follow Christ.” 13 ^acIs Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you ^adbaptized in the name of Paul?

1 Corinthians 3:3

3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is ^aejealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?

1 Corinthians 11:18

18 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, ^afI hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, ^{▼▼Or I believe a certain report}

Galatians 1:7-9

7 ^ahnot that there is another one, but ^aithere are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or ^ajan angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ^aklet him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, ^allet him be accursed.

Galatians 2:4

4 ^amYet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who ^anslipped in to spy out ^aoour freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, ^apso that they might bring us into slavery—

Philippians 3:2-3

2 Look out for ^aqthe dogs, look out for ^arthe evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For ^aswe are the circumcision, ^atwho worship ^auby the Spirit of God ^{▼▼Some manuscripts God in spirit} and ^awglory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—
