1 Corinthians 1:9-18
91God is faithful, through whom you were 2called into 3fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
10Now 4I exhort you, 5brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all 6agree and that there be no 78divisions among you, but that you be 9made complete in 10the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12Now I mean this, that 11each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of 12Apollos,” and “I of 13Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” 1314Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you 15baptized 16in the name of Paul? 1417I thank God that I 18baptized none of you except 19Crispus and 20Gaius, 15so that no one would say you were baptized 21in my name. 16Now I did baptize also the 22household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 1723For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, 24not in 25cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
18For the word of the cross is 26foolishness to 27those who 28are perishing, but to us who 29are being saved it is 30the power of God.
