1 Corinthians 1:13

1:13 Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he? ¹  Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul? ² 

1 Corinthians 2:2

2:2 For I decided to be concerned about nothing ³  among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

[1:13]  ¹ tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “was he?”).

[1:13]  ² tn This third question marks a peak in which Paul’s incredulity at the Corinthians’ attitude is in focus. The words “in fact” have been supplied in the translation to make this rhetorical juncture clear.

[2:2]  ³ tn Grk “to know nothing.”
