1 Corinthians 1:13-18

New King James Version

^13 (A)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized ^(B)none of you except ^(C)Crispus and ^(D)Gaius, ¹⁵ lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ Yes, I also baptized the household of ^(E)Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, ^(F)not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God^(G)

¹⁸ For the ^[a]message of the cross is ^(H)foolishness to ^(I)those who are perishing, but to us ^(J)who are being saved it is the ^(K)power of God.
