For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should have been made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent." read more.
Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness? For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness. But unto them which are called, both of Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men. Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty. And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation, that no flesh should rejoice in his presence. And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption. That according, as it is written, "He which rejoiceth, should rejoice in the Lord."

These things, brethren, I have described in mine own person, and Apollos, for your sakes - that ye might learn by us that no man count of himself beyond that which is above written: that one swell not against another for any man's cause. For who preferreth thee? What hast thou, that thou hast not received? If thou have received it: why boastest thou as though thou hadst not received it?
For we cannot find in our hearts to make ourselves of the number of them, or to compare ourselves to them, which laud themselves. Nevertheless, while they measure themselves with themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they understand nought. But we will not rejoice above measure: but according to the quantity of the measure which God hath distributed unto us, a measure that reacheth even unto you. For we stretch not out ourselves beyond measure as though we had not reached unto you. For even unto you have we come with the gospel of Christ, read more.
and we boast not ourselves out of measure in other men's labors. Yea, and we hope, when your faith is increased among you, to be magnified according to our measure more largely; and to preach the gospel in those regions which are beyond you, and not to rejoice of that which is by another man's measure prepared already. Let him that rejoiceth, rejoice in the Lord. For he that praiseth himself, is not allowed: but he whom the Lord praiseth.
