Sectarianism Is Sin

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, athat you all speak the same thing, and that there be no2 divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.  
11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.  
12 Now I say this, that aeach of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of bApollos,” or “I am of cCephas,” or “I am of Christ.”  
13 aIs Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?  
14 I thank God that I baptized anone of you except bCrispus and cGaius,  
15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.
16 Yes, I also baptized the household of aStephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.  
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, anot with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.  

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

18 For the1 message of the cross is afoolishness to bthose who are perishing, but to us cwho are being saved it is the dpower of God.  
19 For it is written:
a“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
