1 Corinthians 1:10–18

10 Now uI beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, vthat ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no †divisions among you; but that ye be wperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them xwhich are of the house of Chloe, that there are ycontentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that zevery one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of aApollos; and I of bCephas; and I of Christ. 13 cIs Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye dbaptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that eI baptized none of you, but fCrispus and gGaius; 15 Lest any should say that I had dbaptized in mine own name. 16 And I baptized also the household of hStephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: inot with wisdom of ||words, lest the cross of Christ should be kmade of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to lthem that perish mfoolishness; but unto us nwhich are saved it is othe power of God.
