In 1 Corinthians 1:13, Paul asks if anyone was baptized in Paul's name — the very reason he is glad he baptized few.

In John 3:28, John the Baptist denies being the Christ, paralleling Paul's refusal to baptize in his own name — both reject self‑glorification.

John 7:18 contrasts self-glory and God's glory; Paul seeks God's glory by not letting anyone claim baptism in his name.
