4. I thank my Elohim always concerning you for the favour of Elohim which was given to you by Messiah יהושע,
5. that in Him you were enriched in all – in every word and all knowledge –
6. as the witness of Messiah was confirmed in you,
7. so that you are not lacking in any gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Master יהושע Messiah,
8. who shall also confirm you to the end, unreprovable in the day of our Master יהושע Messiah.
9. Elohim is trustworthy, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, יהושע Messiah our Master.
10. And I appeal to you, brothers, by the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah, that you all agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be knit together in the same mind and in the same opinion.
11. For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
12. What I mean is this, that each one of you says, “I am of Sha’ul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Kĕpha,” or “I am of Messiah.”
13. Has the Messiah been divided? Was Sha’ul impaled for you? Or were you immersed in the name of Sha’ul?
14. I thank Elohim that I immersed not one of you except Crispus and Gaios,
15. that no one should say that I immersed into my own name.
16. Now I did also immerse the household of Stephanas. For the rest, I do not know whether I immersed anyone else.
17. For Messiah did not send me to immerse, but to bring the Good News, not with wisdom of words, that the stake of Messiah should not be nullified.
