the ages the name of Paul haa been a constant reminder and summons to Christians to land together despite differences To Protestants Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox that message is the legacy of Paul "For just as the body is one and has many members and the members of the body though many are one body so it is with Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 12 "For by one spirit we were all baptized into one Jews or Greeks claves and free and all were made to drink of one spirit" Paul of Tarsus a lst-Gentury Jewish scholar originally persecuted Christians dragging them from their homes and hauling

the Mediterranean area preaching and organizing congregations Throughout his work he appealed to Christians to stand fast in mutual devotion and common purpose To the believers of Corinth Greece who had become divided into quarreling sects he wrote in 1 Corinthians 1: "Each one of you says belong to or belong to Apollos or 'I belong to or 'I belong to Christ' Is Christ divided?"
