Called to be holy and perfectly united in mind and thought; 1 Corinthins

1 Corinthins 1:1-17
Paul called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God.
Called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of out Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
For in him you have been enriched in every way - in all your speaking and in all your knowledge - because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you ay be perfectly united in mind and thought.
Paul believes in encouragement in his letters. Only Galatians lacks this note of praise.
It is easy to see how divisions could arise. Paul mentions three factions centered on rival 'leaders': Paul, Apollos and Cephas. A fourth division, in their pride, claimed exclusive rights to the label 'Christian'.
Why?
Grace and peace are the gift from the Lord, give these to others, for we got it free from the Lord.
Paul was called to be an apostle of tChrist. So as I a called to be holy together with other Christians.
As we eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ we do not lack any spiritual gifts, it will reveal to us.perfectly united in mind and thought
All of Christian belong to the Lord, and be baptized by the Holy Spirit so we are all in one, not because baptized by who.
In Christ I do not lack anything and have been enriched in every way. In different ways God gives me knowledge and words.
How?
Under the Holy Spirit we should wait for the Lord and with perfectly united in mind and thought.
