1 Corintios 1:15

15 para que nadie diga que fuisteis bautizados en mi nombre.

1 Corintios 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 1:15

Lest any should say that I had baptized in my
own name.
] The Alexandrian copy, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version, read, "lest anyone should say that ye were baptized in my name"; and the Ethiopic version renders it, "that ye might not say we have been baptized in his name". This gives the true reason why the apostle was so thankful he had baptized no more of the members of this church, lest either some should reproach him, as having done it in his own name, and as seeking his own honour and interest; or lest others should affect, from their being baptized by him, to be called by his name, as if he was the author and patron of a new sect.

1 Corintios 1:15 In-Context

13 ¿Está dividido Cristo? ¿Acaso fue Pablo crucificado por vosotros? ¿O fuisteis bautizados en el nombre de Pablo?

14 Doy gracias a Dios que no bauticé a ninguno de vosotros, excepto a Crispo y a Gayo,

15 para que nadie diga que fuisteis bautizados en mi nombre.

16 También bauticé a los de la casa de Estéfanas; por lo demás, no sé si bauticé a algún otro.

17 Pues Cristo no me envió a bautizar, sino a predicar el evangelio, no con palabras elocuentes, para que no se haga vana la cruz de Cristo.
