1 Corinthians 1:10-17
Legacy Standard Bible
10 Now (A)I exhort you, (B)brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all [a]agree and that there be no [b](C)divisions among you, but that you be [c]made complete in (D)the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12 Now I mean this, that (E)each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of (F)Apollos,” and “I of (G)Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” 13 [d]Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you (H)baptized [e]in the name of Paul? 14 [f]I thank God that I (I)baptized none of you except (J)Crispus and (K)Gaius, 15 so that no one would say you were baptized [g]in my name. 16 Now I did baptize also the (L)household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17 (M)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, (N)not in wisdom of word, so that the cross of Christ will not be made empty.

Rival groups in Corinth
10 Now I encourage you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Agree with each other and don’t be divided into rival groups. Instead, be restored with the same mind and the same purpose. 11 My brothers and sisters, Chloe’s people gave me some information about you, that you’re fighting with each other. 12 What I mean is this: that each one of you says, “I belong to Paul,” “I belong to Apollos,” “I belong to Cephas,” “I belong to Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in Paul’s name? 14 Thank God that I didn’t baptize any of you, except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that nobody can say that you were baptized in my name! 16 Oh, I baptized the house of Stephanas too. Otherwise, I don’t know if I baptized anyone else. 17 Christ didn’t send me to baptize but to preach the good news. And Christ didn’t send me to preach the good news with clever words so that Christ’s cross won’t be emptied of its meaning.
