1 Corinthians 1:10-17

1 Corinthians 1:10-17 TOJB2011

Now I exhort you, Achim b'Moshiach, b'Shem Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, that you all speak the same thing and that there not be among you machlokot (divisions of dissension), but that you may have achdus (unity) in the same mind and in the same way of thinking. For it was made clear to me about you, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, by the ones of Chloe, that there is merivah (strife) among you. Now I say this, because each of you says, “I am of Sha'ul,” or, “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Kefa,” or “I am of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach!” Has Moshiach been divided? Surely Sha'ul was not for you the one talui al HaEtz (being hanged on the Tree)? Surely it was not in the name of Sha'ul that the Moshiachʼs tevilah in the mikveh mayim was given to you? Modeh Ani HASHEM that to not one of you I gave Moshiachʼs tevilah, except Crispus and Gaius, Lest anyone should say that in my name you were given the Moshiachʼs tevilah. Now I gave Moshiachʼs tevilah also to Stephanasʼ household; as to the rest, I do not know if I gave Moshiachʼs tevilah to anyone else. For Moshiach did not send me to give Moshiachʼs tevilah in the mikveh mayim, but to preach the Besuras HaGeulah, not by means of the lomdes (cleverness, erudition) of the rhetoric of Bnei Adam, lest the gevurah (power) of HaEtz HaKelalat HASHEM (the Tree of the Curse of G-d) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach be buttel (cancelled out).
