NET Bible
"so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name!"
— 1 Corinthians 1:15, NET Bible
“Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.”
“lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name. ”
“so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.”
“Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.”
“So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.”
“Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.”
Now I mean this, that each of you is saying,“I am with Paul,” or“I am with Apollos,” or“I am with Cephas,” or“I am with Christ.”
Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he? Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name!
(I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Otherwise, I do not remember whether I baptized anyone else.)
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel– and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless.
The Message of the Cross For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
