1 Corinthians 11:19

11:19 For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident. ² 

[1:31]  ¹ sn A quotation from Jer 9:24. The themes of Jer 9 have influenced Paul’s presentation in vv. 26-31. Jeremiah calls upon the wise, the strong, and the wealthy not to trust in their resources but in their knowledge of the true God – and so to boast in the Lord. Paul addresses the same three areas of human pride.

[11:19]  ² tn Grk “those approved may be evident among you.”
