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.

Christ Is the Answer to the Problem of Divisions
10 Brothers,[a] I am making an appeal to you using the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that you all express the same view and not have any divisions among you, but that you be joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For the news I heard about you, my brothers, from members of Chloe’s household, is that there are rivalries among you. 12 What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,”[b] or “I belong to Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one can say that I baptized you into my own name. 16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides them, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel—not with the wisdom used in speeches, so that the cross of Christ would not be emptied of its power.
