1 Corinthians 1:9 
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 


1:9. This was so because God . . . is faithful and He had called the Corinthians into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ. But one cannot enjoy fellowship with Christ while being at odds with other members of His body (Matt. 5:23-24). So it is on this note that Paul made his transition from what God had done in the past and will do in the future to what the Corinthians needed to do in the present, namely, mend their divisions.
