12. In other words, that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
13. Is the 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, but Crispus and Gaius,
15. lest any should say that ye were baptized into my name.
16. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Christ should be made void.
18. For the word of the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} is foolishness to those that perish, but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God.
