⁴ There is one body^(A) and one Spirit,^(B) just as you were called to one hope when you were called^(C); ⁵ one Lord,^(D) one faith, one baptism;

¹¹ “I baptize you with^[a] water for repentance.^(A) But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with^[b] the Holy Spirit^(B) and fire.^{(C) 12} His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”^(D)

⁴ We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death^(A) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead^(B) through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.^(C)

¹¹ In him you were also circumcised^(A) with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh^[a](B) was put off when you were circumcised by^[b] Christ, ¹² having been buried with him in baptism,^(C) in which you were also raised with him^(D) through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.^(E)

⁵ For John baptized with^[a] water,^(A) but in a few days you will be baptized with^[b] the Holy Spirit.”^(B)

¹⁴ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus^(A) and Gaius,^{(B) 15} so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ (Yes, I also baptized the household^(C) of Stephanas;^(D) beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize,^(E) but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom^(F) and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
