1 Corinthians 1:18

Christ Crucified, The Power And Wisdom Of God

¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News?not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. ¹⁸ For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."
