An Honest Correction
Commentators note that Paul corrects himself in this verse, adding the household of Stephanas after initially stating he only baptized Crispus and Gaius. Some scholars suggest his scribe may have reminded him. This honest correction shows Paul's humanity and that biblical inspiration doesn't erase normal human memory, but rather works through human authors to convey God's truth.
