SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:10–2:16: Believers should not divide up into competing factions. They should be united by true wisdom, the message of the cross.

In this section Paul wrote about a serious problem in the Corinthian church. The Corinthian believers were dividing up into competing groups. They were following whichever human leader they admired the most. Paul tried to solve this problem by reminding the Corinthians of the message of the cross. He wanted them to stop following human wisdom and to follow God’s wisdom.

Paragraph 1:10–17

There were divisions among the believers at Corinth. They divided into groups according to which leader they thought was the best one to follow. Paul taught them that Christ was not divided, so neither should his church be divided. His message was that all believers are united in Christ.

1:15

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

so nobody can now say that I baptized you to be my followers/disciples, using my own name.
As a result, no one there/in Corinth can say, “Paul baptized us^(excl) using his own name, so we are his followers/disciples.”

so no one can say that you were baptized into my name: This clause tells the reason why Paul was thankful. He was thankful because nobody could say that he had baptized Corinthian believers in order to become their spiritual leader. In some languages it may be more natural to start a new sentence here. For example:

Not one of you can say that you were baptized in my name. (CEV)

so: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as so here introduces a result of Paul not baptizing many people in Corinth. Because Paul had not baptized many Corinthian believers, nobody could say that he had baptized them in his own name.

you were baptized into my name: This clause is passive. In some languages, it may be more natural to translate this clause without using a passive verb. For example:

I baptized you into my name

into my name: This phrase means to become the disciples of Paul. See the notes on “into the name of Paul” in 1:13c. For example:

as my disciples. (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, so that introduces a purpose or result. In this case, it introduces what results from Paul not baptizing many of the Corinthians. Because he did not baptize almost any of them, they cannot say that they were baptized into his name. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this connection with a word that indicates result, and you could specify that it is the result of Paul not baptizing many of them. Alternate translation, as a new sentence: [The result is that] or [Therefore,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα ἐβαπτίσθητε

into (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἵνα μή τὶς εἴπῃ ὅτι εἰς τό ἐμόν ὄνομα ἐβαπτίσθητε)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on those who are baptized rather than whoever does the “baptizing.” If you must state who does the action, you can use a vague or indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [someone baptized you into my name]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα

into (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἵνα μή τὶς εἴπῃ ὅτι εἰς τό ἐμόν ὄνομα ἐβαπτίσθητε)

Here, just as in [1:13](../01/13.md), Paul uses the word name to refer to authority. What he means is that, when they were baptized, no one used Paul’s name, and therefore they do not belong to his group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the meaning of this word by using the word “authority” or by a phrase that includes the language of “belonging.” Alternate translation: [under my authority]
