1 Corinthians 1:11-16
The Message
11-12 I bring this up because some from Chloe’s family brought a most disturbing report to my attention—that you’re fighting among yourselves! I’ll tell you exactly what I was told: You’re all picking sides, going around saying, “I’m on Paul’s side,” or “I’m for Apollos,” or “Peter is my man,” or “I’m in the Messiah group.”
13-16 I ask you, “Has the Messiah been chopped up in little pieces so we can each have a relic all our own? Was Paul crucified for you? Was a single one of you baptized in Paul’s name?” I was not involved with any of your baptisms—except for Crispus and Gaius—and on getting this report, I’m sure glad I wasn’t. At least no one can go around saying he was baptized in my name. (Come to think of it, I also baptized Stephanas’s family, but as far as I can recall, that’s it.)

New International Version
11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household(A) have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”;(B) another, “I follow Apollos”;(C) another, “I follow Cephas[a]”;(D) still another, “I follow Christ.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?(E)

13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
