1 Corinthians 1:10-17 - Divisions In The Church At Corinth
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say alike, and that there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgement. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you. 12 I mean, that each of you saith, as if of different parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, I of Cephas, and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye 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 can say I baptized in my own name. 16 I also baptized indeed the family of Stephanas: but I know not whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in fine speech, least the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
