For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

For it hath been declared unto me by them of Chloë. Some think that Chloë is the name of a place, but this place is nowhere else mentioned; nor does the Greek well allow Chloë to be a place. Whence more truly Chrysostom and the Syriac suppose it to be the name of a family or of a woman, and then the meaning Isaiah , I have heard from the family of Chloë. By a similar Greek idiom it is said, Romans 16:10-11: "Salute them which are of Aristobulus, of Narcissus," viz, of the house and family.
