Teaching Points The Role of Baptism in the ChurchBaptism is an important step of obedience and public declaration of faith, but it is not the primary focus of the gospel message. Paul emphasizes preaching the gospel over the act of baptizing. Unity in the Body of Christ Paul’s mention of who he baptized serves to address divisions in the Corinthian church. Believers should focus on their unity in Christ rather than on who performed their baptism. The Importance of Spiritual Leadership The household of Stephanas is noted for their service to the saints. This highlights the importance of spiritual leadership and service within the church community. Memory and Humility in Ministry Paul’s admission of not remembering everyone he baptized shows humility and a focus on the broader mission rather than personal accolades.(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" (1Corinthians 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 (1Corinthians 16:17). Finding how his memory had failed him on this point, the Apostle adds, "And I know not," &c. (i.e., I don't remember) so as to prevent any cavil from hypercritical opponents.Verse 16. - And I baptized also. This he recalls by an afterthought being, perhaps, reminded of it by Stephanas himself. The household of Stephanas. Stephanas and his house were the first converts in Achaia (1 Corinthians 16:5). When converts became more numerous, St. Paul ceased to baptize them personally (comp. Acts 10:48). I know not. The inspiration of the apostles involved none of the mechanical infallibility ascribed to them by popular dogma, He forgot whether he had baptized any one else or not, but this made no difference as regards his main argument.
