¹⁰Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no schisms among you: but that you be perfect in the same mind and in the same judgment.

¹¹For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

¹²Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

¹³Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

¹⁴I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:

¹⁵Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.

¹⁶And I baptized also the household of Stephanus. Besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

¹⁷For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

¹⁸For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

Read in Logos

1 Corinthians 1:17: For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
