¹⁰And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment, ¹¹for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you; ¹²and I say this, that each one of you saith, ‘I, indeed, am of Paul’—‘and I of Apollos,’—‘and I of Cephas,’—‘and I of Christ.’ ¹³Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

¹⁴I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius— ¹⁵that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize; ¹⁶and I did baptize also Stephanas’ household—further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.

¹⁷For Christ did not send me to baptize, but—to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect; ¹⁸for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God,

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.
