10

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

11

Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

12

That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul some say, I am of Apollos some say, I am of Cephas and some say, I am Christ's.

13

Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

14

I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius

15

So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.

16

And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.

17

For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.
