1 Corinthians 1:11-13
New English Translation
11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters,[a] that there are quarrels[b] among you. 12 Now I mean this, that[c] each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,”[d] or “I am with Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he?[e] Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?[f]
