1 Corinthians 1:9-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. God is faithful. He is the One who has called you to share life with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10. I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I beg that all of you agree with each other, so that you will not be divided into groups. I beg that you be completely joined together by having the same kind of thinking and the same purpose.

11. My brothers, some people from Chloe’s family have told me that there are arguments among you.

12. This is what I mean: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another says, “I follow Apollos”; another says, “I follow Peter”; and another says, “I follow Christ.”

13. Christ cannot be divided into different groups! Did Paul die on the cross for you? No! Were you baptized in the name of Paul? No!

14. I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius.

15. I am thankful, because now no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
