1 Corinthians 1:9-18

91God is faithful, through whom you were 2called into 3fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10Now 4I urge you, 5brothers and sisters, 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 brothers and sisters, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12Now I mean this, that 11each one of you is saying, “I am 12with Paul,” 13or “I am 14with 15Apollos,” 16or “I am 17with 1819Cephas,” 20or “I am 21with Christ.” 1322Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you 23baptized 24in the name of Paul? 14I am thankful that I 25baptized none of you except 26Crispus and 27Gaius, 15so that no one would say you were baptized 28in my name! 16But I did baptize the 29household of Stephanas also; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else. 1730For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, 31not with 32cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.

18For the word of the cross is 33foolishness to 34those who 35are perishing, but to us who 36are being saved it is 37the power of God.
