Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Corinthians 1:11

"For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them [that are of the household] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you." — 1 Corinthians 1:11 (ASV)

The house of Chloe.—Who Chloe was we cannot tell. Her name was evidently well known to the Corinthians, and some slaves of her household, probably travelling between Ephesus and Corinth, on their owner’s business, had brought to St. Paul the account of the distracted state of the church in their city.
