^13 (A)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized ^(B)none of you except ^(C)Crispus and ^(D)Gaius, ¹⁵ lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ Yes, I also baptized the household of ^(E)Stephanas.

¹⁴ Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us.
