1 Corinthians 1:10-17 - Divisions In The Church At Corinth

¹⁰ Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper. ¹¹ For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ." ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized? ¹⁴ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.
