1 Corinthians 1:12-16

Divisions in the Church

12 What I mean is that s each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow t Apollos," or "I follow u Cephas," or "I follow Christ." 13 v Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you w baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except x Crispus and y Gaius, 15 so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also z the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)
