For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.

For any other foundation can no one lay than the one being laid, who is Jesus Christ.

And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;
