1 Corinthians 1:10-18
10Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you
be united in the same mind and the same
purpose. 11For it has been reported to me by
Chloe's people that there are quarrels among you, my
brothers and sisters. 12What I mean is that each of you
says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to
Cephas," or "I belong to Christ." 13Has Christ been divided? Was Paul
crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of
Paul? 14I thank God that I baptized none of
you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so that no one can say that you were
baptized in my name. 16(I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know
whether I baptized anyone else.) 17For Christ did not send me to
baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom,
so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its
power.
18For the message about the cross is
foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being
saved it is the power of God.
