1 Corinthians 1:18

Christ Crucified, The Power And Wisdom Of God

¹⁷ For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.

For Us

Power of God
