We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority— the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down. (niv)

1 Korinther 4 6-1 Korinther 4 8
Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying,“ Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have begun to reign— and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you! (niv)

2 Korinther 1 23-2 Korinther 2 4
I call God as my witness— and I stake my life on it— that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy.For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have.For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit? (niv)
-
1 Korinther 6 7-1 Korinther 6 8
The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. (niv)

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factionsand envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

1 Korinther 5 3-1 Korinther 5 5
For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this.So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. (niv)

1 Korinther 3 3-1 Korinther 3 4
You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?For when one says,“ I follow Paul,” and another,“ I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings? (niv)
-
Jakobus 4:1-5
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?

1 Korinther 11 16-1 Korinther 11 19
If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice— nor do the churches of God.In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval. (niv)
