1 Corinthians 1:10-17
World English Bible
10 Now I beg you, brothers,[a] through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow 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 baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name. 16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.) 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.

1 Corinthians 1:10-17
New American Standard Bible
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.
