141I thank God that I abaptized none of you except bCrispus and cGaius,

15so that no one would say you were baptized 1in my name.

16Now I did baptize also the ahousehold of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

17aFor Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, bnot in wisdom of word, so that the cross of Christ will not be made empty.

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. I did, in fact, baptize the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t recall if I baptized anyone else. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.

NLTNew Living Translation

I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, for now no one can say they were baptized in my name. (Oh yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I don’t remember baptizing anyone else.) For Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News—and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power.
