11. for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;
12. and I say this, that each one of you saith, `I, indeed, am of Paul' --`and I of Apollos,' --`and I of Cephas,' --`and I of Christ.'
13. Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;
14. I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius--
15. that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;
16. and I did baptize also Stephanas' household--further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.
17. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but--to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;
18. for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us-- those being saved--it is the power of God,
19. for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'
