1:12Now I mean this, that16 each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.” 1:13Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he?17 Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?18

Footnotes

  1. 16 Or “And I say this because.”
  2. 17 Questions prefaced with μή (mē) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “was he?”).
  3. 18 This third question marks a peak in which Paul’s incredulity at the Corinthians’ attitude is in focus. The words “in fact” have been supplied in the translation to make this rhetorical juncture clear.
