1 Corinthians 1:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 so that no one would say you were baptized [a]in my name! 16 But I did baptize the (A)household of Stephanas also; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else. 17 (B)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (C)not with [b]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.

New International Version
15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household(A) of Stephanas;(B) beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize,(C) but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom(D) and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
