1 Corinzi 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 Corinzi 1:15 In-Context

13 Cristo è egli diviso? Paolo è egli stato crocifisso per voi? O siete voi stati battezzati nel nome di Paolo?
14 Io ringrazio Dio che non ho battezzato alcun di voi, salvo Crispo e Gaio;
15 cosicché nessuno può dire che foste battezzati nel mio nome.
16 Ho battezzato anche la famiglia di Stefana; del resto non so se ho battezzato alcun altro.
17 Perché Cristo non mi ha mandato a battezzare ma ad evangelizzare; non con sapienza di parola, affinché la croce di Cristo non sia resa vana.
