13 Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius–
15 for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
16 I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
17 Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words–lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
