1 Corinthians (1 Co) 1:10-17

1 Corinthians (1 Co) 1:10-17 CJB

Nevertheless, brothers, I call on you in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to agree, all of you, in what you say, and not to let yourselves remain split into factions but be restored to having a common mind and a common purpose. For some of Chloe’s people have made it known to me, my brothers, that there are quarrels among you. I say this because one of you says, “I follow Sha’ul”; another says, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Kefa”; while still another says, “I follow the Messiah!” Has the Messiah been split in pieces? Was it Sha’ul who was put to death on a stake for you? Were you immersed into the name of Sha’ul? I thank God that I didn’t immerse any of you except Crispus and Gaius — otherwise someone might say that you were indeed immersed into my name. (Oh yes, I did also immerse Stephanas and his household; beyond that, I can’t remember whether I immersed anyone else.) For the Messiah did not send me to immerse but to proclaim the Good News — and to do it without relying on “wisdom” that consists of mere rhetoric, so as not to rob the Messiah’s execution-stake of its power.
