1Co 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1Co 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
1Co 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
I was just wondering if anybody has any thoughts about these verses? It almost seems like, in verses 14 and 16, that he's saying, "I baptized Crispus and Gaius, and also the household of Stephanas. Other than them, I can't remember if I baptized anybody else at Corinth"
It just strikes me as an interesting statement, considering his learning and how sharp his mind was.
