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

¹⁰ But I appeal to you, Brothers, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united-of one mind and of one opinion. ¹¹ For I have been informed, my Brothers, by the members of Chloe's household, that party feeling exists among you. ¹² I mean this, that every one of you says either 'I follow Paul,' or 'I Apollos,' or 'I Kephas,' or 'I Christ.' ¹³ You have rent the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? or were you baptized into the Faith of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ So that no one can say that you were baptized into my Faith. ¹⁶ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the Good News; not, however, in the language of philosophy, lest the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning.
