Kehillah in Corinth I 1:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁵ Lest anyone should say that in my name you were given the Moshiach’s tevilah.

¹⁶ Now I gave Moshiach’s tevilah also to Stephanas’ household; as to the rest, I do not know if I gave Moshiach’s tevilah to anyone else.

¹⁷ For Moshiach did not send me to give Moshiach’s 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—Dt 21:23) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach be buttel (cancelled out).
