1 Corinthians 1
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
13 Ref Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;
14 Ref I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius --
15 Ref that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;
16 Ref and I did baptize also Stephanas' household -- further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.
17 Ref For Christ did not send me to baptize, but -- to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;
18 Ref for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us -- those being saved -- it is the power of God,

13 Ref Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?
14 Ref I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Ref So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.
16 Ref And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.
17 Ref For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.
18 Ref For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.
