Divisions receive only one reaction from the Lord; NO!!! Paul addresses the divisions of arrogance, and sin in these chapters. Each case of division needs to be dealt with firmly. The arrogant must put off their motives and focus on serving the kingdom. The persistently sinful must change their lifestyle to match Jesus' standard, or be turned away until they repent of their evil ways. The goal in each case, though Paul dosen't address it here, is restoration to God.
It took about 15 minutes to read this passage.
