Weymouth New Testament WNT
New International Version NIV
10 Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.
10
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.
11 For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
11
My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
12 What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says "I belong to Paul;" another "I belong to Apollos;" a third "I belong to Peter;" a fourth "I belong to Christ."
12
What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas ”; still another, “I follow Christ.”
13 Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
13
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--
14
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
15
so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
16 I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
16
(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.)
17 Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words--lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
17
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
