1 Corinthians 1:15

“Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.] The Alexandrian copy, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version, read, “lest anyone should say that ye were baptized in my name”; and the Ethiopic version renders it, “that ye might not say we have been baptized in his name”. This gives the true reason why the apostle was so thankful he had baptized no more of the members of this church, lest either some should reproach him, as having done it in his own name, and as seeking his own honour and interest; or lest others should affect, from their being baptized by him, to be called by his name, as if he was the author and patron of a new sect.”

“Lest--not that Paul had this reason at the time, but God so arranged it that none might say [ALFORD].”

“Lest any should say - Lest any of those who had been baptized should pervert his design, and say that Paul had baptized them unto himself; or, lest any others should, with any appearance of truth, say that he had sought to make disciples to himself. The Ethiopic version renders this, “that ye should not say we were baptized in his name.” Many of the ancient mss. read this, “test any should say that ‘ye were baptized’ into my name.” Mill. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name - In order to attach them to myself. 1 Corinthians 1:16”
