1 Corinthians 1:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel (not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect).

¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness. But to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

¹⁹ For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will cast away the understanding of the prudent.”
