For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord may will; and I will know not the word of those who have been puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Thus also if you through the tongue may give an indistinct word, how will that which is spoken be known? for you will be speaking into the air.

Whether did the word of God come out from you? or has it reached unto you alone?

by which you are also saved; which word I preached to you, if you hold it fast, otherwise you believed in vain.

But when this corruptible may put on incorruption, and this mortal may put on immorality, then shall the word which has been written be fulfilled, Death is swallowed up in victory.
