There is disunity in the church and Paul will have none of it. In a world that is increasingly divided, polarised, antagonistic, self righteous and self centred it is vital for Paul that the church is unified. The church is meant to speak a better story to the world around it. Not that there will always be agreement on all issues, but rather that disagreements do not breed dissent, disruption and disintegration. Paul will pick up some of the details of their disunity in chapter three, but at this point, he begins to unpack the WHY behind the WHAT.
