1 Corinthians 1:17-19
Legacy Standard Bible

17 (A)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, (B)not in wisdom of word, so that the cross of Christ will not be made empty.

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

18 For the word of the cross is (C)foolishness to (D)those who [a]are perishing, but to us who [b]are being saved, it is (E)the power of God. 19 For it is written,

“(F)I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”
