11

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."

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

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.
