Script by Bob Allen
For four voices
Scene 4
4 3 2 1
VOICE ONE: I am of Paul!
VOICE TWO: I am of Apollos!
VOICE THREE: I am of Peter!
VOICE FOUR: Well—I am of Christ!
VOICE ONE: No one can hold a candle to the
logic and wisdom of my mentor—the Apostle Paul.
VOICE TWO: The eloquence of Apollos is
legendary. What a way with words.
VOICE THREE: Apostle? Paul wasn’t even one of the twelve. No one has been around longer than Peter.
VOICE FOUR: Well—I’m above all your petty
arguments! I am of Christ!
VOICE ONE: Is Christ divided?
VOICE FOUR: Was Paul crucified for you?
VOICE THREE: The Greeks seek after wisdom!
VOICE TWO: The Jews require a sign!
ALL: Contention.
VOICE ONE: Paul planted this church here in
Corinth.
VOICE TWO: Apollos watered it. He gave us such wonderful sermons.
VOICE THREE: Well—I heard Peter preach on the day
of Pentecost!
VOICE FOUR: God gave the increase!
ALL: Pride!
VOICE ONE: You won’t even deal with the sin
in the congregation.
VOICE TWO: Oh yeah? Well you took a Christian brother to court
before an unsaved judge.
VOICE THREE: And you put away your wife.
VOICE FOUR: That’s nothing! You eat food that was offered to idols.
ALL: Division!
VOICE ONE: (CROSS RIGHT TO BETWEEN #3 AND #
2) If we would judge ourselves we would
not be judged.
VOICE TWO: (STAND) This is My Body!
VOICE THREE: (STAND) Let a man examine himself.
VOICE FOUR: (CROSS LEFT TO BETWEEN # 3 AND #
1.) This is My Blood!
ALL: This do in
remembrance of ME!
VOICE ONE: Paul received the word of wisdom
through the Spirit.
VOICE TWO: Apollos obtained the word of
knowledge according to the same Spirit.
VOICE THREE: Peter administered the gifts of
healing by that one Spirit.
VOICE FOUR: By one Spirit were we all baptized
into one body.
ALL: The body Christ!
VOICE ONE: No contention.
VOICE TWO: No pride.
VOICE THREE: No division.
VOICE FOUR: But love!
VOICE ONE: Now abideth faith
VOICE TWO: Hope
VOICE THREE: And love.
VOICE FOUR: But the greatest of these is love.
