11 My brothers and sisters, Chloe’s people gave me some information about you, that you’re fighting with each other.
12 What I mean is this: that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul," "I belong to Apollos," "I belong to Cephas," "I belong to Christ."
13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in Paul’s name?
14 Thank God that I didn’t baptize any of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
15 so that nobody can say that you were baptized in my name!
16 Oh, I baptized the house of Stephanas too. Otherwise, I don’t know if I baptized anyone else.
17 Christ didn’t send me to baptize but to preach the good news. And Christ didn’t send me to preach the good news with clever words so that Christ’s cross won’t be emptied of its meaning.
