16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.)
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
16 (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)
16 (Come to think of it, I also baptized Stephanas's family, but as far as I can recall, that's it.)
16 Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
16 (Oh yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I don't remember baptizing anyone else.)
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:16
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:10-16
(Read 1 Corinthians 1:10-16)
In the great things of religion be of one mind; and where there is not unity of sentiment, still let there be union of affection. Agreement in the greater things should extinguish divisions about the lesser. There will be perfect union in heaven, and the nearer we approach it on earth, the nearer we come to perfection. Paul and Apollos both were faithful ministers of Jesus Christ, and helpers of their faith and joy; but those disposed to be contentious, broke into parties. So liable are the best things to be corrupted, and the gospel and its institutions made engines of discord and contention. Satan has always endeavoured to stir up strife among Christians, as one of his chief devices against the gospel. The apostle left it to other ministers to baptize, while he preached the gospel, as a more useful work.
