Context — Baptism and the Corinthian Churchgenerated

15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
16Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.
17For 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.
18For 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.

1 Corinthians 1:16 reveals Paul's recollection of baptizing the household of Stephanas while expressing uncertainty about baptizing others. This statement occurs in a context where Paul addresses divisions among the Corinthians regarding who baptized whom, emphasizing that his role was to preach the gospel rather than to focus on baptism. The mention of Stephanas highlights the importance of household units in the early church, as seen in other passages like Acts 16:15.

The Key Word ἐβάπτισα, baptizōgenerated

The verb βαπτίζω (baptizō) means to immerse or dip, particularly in the context of baptism. It is an aorist active indicative verb, indicating a completed action in the past performed by the subject, Paul.

This word is significant in the New Testament, as it describes the act of baptism, which symbolizes a believer's identification with Christ's death and resurrection. Paul uses this term to affirm his role in the early Christian community while clarifying his focus on preaching.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is translated in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.' The KJV and ASV have similar wording, emphasizing Paul's uncertainty.

Where translations differ, they vary mainly in the rendering of specific phrases. For instance, household is used by most versions, while family appears in the FBV. The term other is used in many translations, while others is found in the BBE and ULB.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is ἐβάπτισα, I baptized, which governs the entire clause. The structure includes a noun phrase for the object, τὸν οἶκον Στεφανᾶ, the household of Stephanas, and further clauses that provide additional information about Paul's memory of baptizing others.

The sentence structure reflects a complex relationship between actions and thoughts, with subordinate clauses detailing what Paul recalls and what he does not.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

οἶκος is a term that appears in the Septuagint, primarily meaning 'house' or 'household.' It translates the Hebrew בֵּית (H1004), which also refers to a physical dwelling or family unit.

The use of οἶκος in this context underscores the communal aspect of early Christian faith, where households often formed the basis of church life.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

1 Corinthians 1:16 shows Paul saying he baptized the household of Stephanas but does not remember if he baptized anyone else. This highlights the importance of baptism in the early church and Paul's focus on preaching the gospel rather than on who performed the baptisms.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

Why does Paul mention the household of Stephanas specifically?

Paul mentions the household of Stephanas to highlight the significance of family units in the early church and to clarify his role in baptizing, which was not the primary focus of his ministry.

What does baptism signify in the New Testament?

Baptism signifies a believer's identification with Christ's death and resurrection, representing a public declaration of faith and commitment to the Christian community.

Why does Paul express uncertainty about baptizing others?

Paul's uncertainty emphasizes that his mission was not centered on baptism but on preaching the gospel, indicating that the act of baptism should not create divisions among believers.

What is the significance of the phrase 'beyond that I do not remember'?

This phrase reflects Paul's humility and focus on the message of Christ rather than on personal accomplishments or the act of baptism itself.


Reflection Questionsgenerated

  1. How does understanding the significance of baptism shape my view of my own faith journey?
  2. In what ways can I support and encourage my family members in their spiritual growth, similar to the household of Stephanas?
  3. What can I learn from Paul's emphasis on preaching over baptism in my own ministry or service?
  4. How can I ensure that my actions do not create divisions among fellow believers, as Paul warns against?

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(16) Stephanas.—The mention of Stephanas and his household was, from the words preceding, evidently a subsequent correction by the Apostle. He had forgotten them, and was reminded of it possibly by Sosthenes, who was writing from his dictation, and would naturally have known the fact, for Stephanas was the “firstfruits of Achaia” (1 Corinthians 16:15), and Sosthenes had been chief ruler of the synagogue (Acts 18:17) when Paul had been brought before Gallio, deputy of Achaia. Stephanas himself was at Ephesus with St. Paul when this letter was written, and doubtless in daily intercourse both with him and with Sosthenes (1 Corinthians 16:17). Finding how his memory had failed him on this…

Verse 16. The household of Stephanas] From 1 Corinthians 16:15, we learn that the family of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, probably converted and baptized by the apostle himself. Epenetus is supposed to be one of this family. See Clarke on Romans 16:5. I know not whether I baptized any other.] I do not recollect that there is any person now residing in Corinth, or Achaia, besides the above mentioned, whom I have baptized. It is strange that the doubt here expressed by the apostle should be construed so as to affect his inspiration!

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Baptizavi autem et Stephanæ domum : ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܐܥܡܕܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܣܛܦܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܐܥܡܕܬ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

The Greek word βαπτίζω (baptizō) means to dip or immerse, often in the context of ceremonial washing or baptism. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of baptizing, as well as the process of being baptized. The word can also imply overwhelming or submerging in a metaphorical sense. There is a note in the entries about its use in various contexts, including both literal and metaphorical applications.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

Webster's Dictionary (1828), Webster's Unabridged (1913), Webster's Dictionary (1806)

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Th' adorning thee with so much art,

Is but a barb'rous skill.

stef'-a-nas (Stephanas): The name occurs only in 1Co 1:16; 16:15-18. Stephanas was a Christian of Corinth; his household is mentioned in 1Co 16:15 as the first family won to Christ in Achaia, and in 1Co 1:16 as among the few personally baptized by Paul at Corinth. The "house of Stephanas," apparently of independent means, had "set themselves to minister unto the saints" (1Co 16:15), i.e. to do Christian service. Possibly this service consisted in putting their house at the disposal of the Christians at Corinth for worshipping, or in rendering special assistance in establishing intercommunication between the Corinthian church and the apostle, or the other churches. An…

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Stephanas

Crown, a member of the church at Corinth, whose family were among those the apostle had baptized (1 Cor. 1:16; 16:15, 17). He has been supposed by some to have been the “jailer of Philippi” (comp. Acts 16:33). The First Epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi some six years after the jailer’s conversion, and he was with the apostle there at that time.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

a Christian convert of Corinth whose household Paul baptized as the "first-fruits of Achaia." (1 Corinthians 1:16; 16:15) (A.D. 53.)

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

A Christian of Corinth, whose family Paul baptized, the first convert to the gospel in Achaia, probably about A. D. 52, 1Co 1:16. He was forward in the service of the church, and came to Paul at Ephesus, 1Co 16:15,17.

οἶκος (oikos) primarily means a house or dwelling, but it also extends to refer to a household or family. In the New Testament, it is used in various contexts, including literal homes (Acts 2:2) and metaphorical uses such as the Church (1 Peter 2:5). The word can denote a sanctuary or temple, reflecting its broader significance in both Greek and Hebrew traditions.

οἶκος. As illustrating the NT conception of the otkos πνευματukds and the οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ Thieme (p. 31) refers not only to the place which ‘‘the house of God” had in Jewish religion, but also to the ‘‘holy houses” of Greek antiquity, as preparing the way for the Christian usage (1 Tim 3}°, 1 Pet 417): see e.g. Magn 945 (ii/B.c.), where a certain Εὔφημος ἸΤαυσανίου νεωκόρος is praised for his liberality— eis T]O[v olk]Jov τὸν ἱερόν, 2. 1177 (Ist half ii/A.p.) τῷ ἱερῷ οἴκῳ τῶν ἐν Κλίδωνι, and Sy// 571 (-- 8 987)% (iv/B.c.), where mention is made of an οἶκος τεμένιος ἱερός in Chios. In Herodas i. 26 οἶκος τῆς θεοῦ refers to Aphrodite. From the fact that a tomb was often dedicated to a local deity, and hence became his ‘‘temple” or ‘‘home,” it is natural that οἶκος should be used in inscrr. in the sense of ““tomb,”’ as at Cibyra BCH ii.

hous'-hold: Three words are usually found in the Bible where the family is indicated. These three are the Hebrew word bayith and the Greek words oikia and oikos. The unit of the national life of Israel, from the very beginning, was found in the family. In the old patriarchal days each family was complete within itself, the oldest living sire being the unquestioned head of the whole, possessed of almost arbitrary powers. The house and the household are practically synonymous. God had called Abraham "that he might command his children and household after him" (Ge 18:19). The Passover-lamb was to be eaten by the "household" (Ex 12:3). The "households" of the rebels in the camp of Israel shared their doom (Nu 16:31-33;

(nuach, menuchah, "cessation from motion," "peace," "quiet," etc.; anapausis, [@katapausis): "Rest" in the above sense is of frequent occurrence, and is the translation of several words with various applications and shades of meaning, chiefly of the words given above. It is applied to God as ceasing from the work of creating on the 7th day (Ge 2:2 f) ; as having His place of rest in the midst of His people in the temple (1Ch 28:2; Ps 132:8,14); as resting in His love among His people (Ze 3:17, the Revised Version margin "Hebrew, `be silent' "). The 7th day was to be one of rest (Ex 16:23; 31:15; see SABBATH); the land also was to have its rest in the 7th year (

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Rest

(1.) Gr. katapausis, equivalent to the Hebrew word noah (Heb. 4:1).

(2.) Gr. anapausis, “rest from weariness” (Matt. 11:28).

(3.) Gr. anesis, “relaxation” (2 Thess. 1:7).

(4.) Gr. sabbatismos, a Sabbath rest, a rest from all work (Heb. 4:9; R.V., “sabbath”), a rest like that of God when he had finished the work of creation.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

In Ac 9:31, refers to the respite from persecution enjoyed by the Christians in Palestine, after the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, during the last two years of Caligula’s short reign, A. D. 39 and 40, when the Jews were so harassed by the attempts of the emperor to force them to worship him as a god, that they forbore to afflict the followers of Christ.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as ), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.

Abbott-Smith, Manual Greek Lexicon of the NT

οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),

The Greek word ἄλλος (i.e., *allos*) means 'another' or 'other.' It is used in various contexts to denote numerical distinction, as opposed to qualitative difference, which is expressed by ἕτερος (*heteros*). The New Testament uses it in passages like Matthew 20:3 and John 14:16. Lexicographers note that while ἄλλος indicates simple distinction among individuals, ἕτερος implies a difference in kind.

Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament — ἄλλος, ἕτεροϑ from a scan

“AXXos, identical with the Latin ‘alius,’ is the numerically distinct ; thus Christ spoke we are told ‘ another ’ parable, and still ‘ another ,’ but each succeeding one being of the same character as those which He had spoken before (Matt. xiii. 23, 24, 31, 33), ἄλλην therefore in every case. But Zrepos, equivalent to the Latin ‘alter,’ to the German ‘ander’ (on which last word see an instructive article in Grimm’s Wéorterbuch), superadds the notion of qualitative difference. One is ‘ divers,’ the other is ‘diverse.’ There are not a few passages in the N. T. whose right interpretation, or at any rate their full understanding, will depend on an accurate seizing of the distinction between these words. Thus Christ promises to his disciples that He will send, not ἕτερον, but ἄλλον, Παράκλητον (John xiv. 16), ‘another’ Comforter therefore, similar to Himself. The dogmatic force of this…

ἄλλος. The differentia of ἄλλος as distinguished from ἕτερος may be left to the latter article. With ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία in Mt 27% cf.

The Greek word βαπτίζω (baptizō) means to dip or immerse, often in the context of ceremonial washing or baptism. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of baptizing, as well as the process of being baptized. The word can also imply overwhelming or submerging in a metaphorical sense. There is a note in the entries about its use in various contexts, including both literal and metaphorical applications.
