1 Corinthians 1 — Context

13

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15

so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

16

(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don't know whether I baptized any other.)

17

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News--not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn't be made void.

18

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

19

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."
