1 Corinthians 1:16

Stephanas
Baptism

14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
