11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are [a]contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that (A)each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of (B)Apollos,” or “I am of (C)Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13 (D)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 I thank God that I baptized (E)none of you except (F)Crispus and (G)Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. 16 Yes, I also baptized the household of (H)Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (I)not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

  1. 1 Corinthians 1:11 quarrels

11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household(A) have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”;(B) another, “I follow Apollos”;(C) another, “I follow Cephas[a]”;(D) still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?(E) 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus(F) and Gaius,(G) 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household(H) of Stephanas;(I) beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize,(J) but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom(K) and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

  1. 1 Corinthians 1:12 That is, Peter

11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

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.
