Divisions in the Church

1 Corinthians 1

¹⁰ Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, _q that you all ₁ speak the same thing, and that there be no ₂ divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are ₃ contentions among you. ¹² Now I say this, that _r each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of _s Apollos," or "I am of _t Cephas," or "I am of Christ." ¹³ _u Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized _v none of you except _w Crispus and _x Gaius, ¹⁵ lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ Yes, I also baptized the household of _y 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, _z not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
