Note 4 at 1Co 1:11: Members of Chloe's household informed Paul about the division in the church in Corinth (see Life for Today Study Bible Notes, Introduction to 1 Corinthians). There is no indication that Paul rebuked them for doing so. Contrariwise, Paul acted on the information they presented him and wrote this epistle to the Corinthians.

Therefore, there are times when we can share needs or problems without being critical. Satan has condemned many sincere Christians with thoughts that they were gossips because they shared a negative situation with others in an attempt to get help.

Note 5 at 1Co 1:11: This is the only mention of Chloe in Scripture. This was the "feminine of apparently a primary word; 'green'" (Strong's Concordance).
