1 Corinthians 1:12-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos: and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?

14. I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;

15. lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.

16. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

18. For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.

19. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.
