1 Corinthians 1:14-17

Divisions in the Church

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.) ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and _a not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
