1 Corinthians 1:13-17
King James Version
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

English Standard Version
13 (A)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you (B)baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except (C)Crispus and (D)Gaius, 15 so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also (E)the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and (F)not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

13 Is Christ divided?(A) Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul’s name? 14 I thank God[a][b] that I baptized none of you except Crispus(B) and Gaius,(C) 15 so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. 16 I did, in fact, baptize the household(D) of Stephanas;(E) beyond that, I don’t recall if I baptized anyone else. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross(F) of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.

New American Standard Bible 1995
13 [a]Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you (A)baptized [b]in the name of Paul? 14 [c]I thank God that I (B)baptized none of you except (C)Crispus and (D)Gaius, 15 so that no one would say you were baptized [d]in my name. 16 Now I did baptize also the (E)household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17 (F)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (G)not in [e]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
