10 Now (A)I urge you, (B)brothers and sisters, 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 and sisters, 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 [d]with Paul,” [e]or “I am [f]with (F)Apollos,” [g]or “I am [h]with [i](G)Cephas,” [j]or “I am [k]with Christ.” 13 [l]Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you (H)baptized [m]in the name of Paul? 14 I am thankful that I (I)baptized none of you except (J)Crispus and (K)Gaius, 15 so that no one would say you were baptized [n]in my name! 16 But I did baptize the (L)household of Stephanas also; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else. 17 (M)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (N)not with [o]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no [a]divisions among you; but that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 [b]Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? 14 [c]I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius; 15 lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my 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 [d]preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
