Divisions in the Church

1:10 I urge you, brothers and sisters,10 by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together,11 to end your divisions,12 and to be united by the same mind and purpose.13 1:11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters,14 that there are quarrels15 among you. 1:12 Now 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.” 1:13 Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he?17 Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?18 1:14 I thank God19 that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 1:15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name! 1:16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Otherwise, I do not remember whether I baptized anyone else.) 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless.20
