1 Corinthians 1:15-17

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁵ So no one can say you were baptized in my name.

¹⁶ (However, I also baptized the people of the house of Stephanas. I do not know of any one else that I baptized.)

¹⁷ Christ did not send me to baptize people, but he sent me to tell the good news. I must not tell it with the clever words of this world. That would not show what the death of Christ on a cross truly means.
