17 Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. Christ did not send me to preach the gospel using words of worldly wisdom. If I had used wise words to spread the gospel, then the cross of Christ would have lost its meaning.
1 Corinthians 1:17
18 The message of the cross seems foolish to those who are lost, but to those who are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will make the wisdom of the wise vain.
1 Corinthians 1:19
20 Where are the wise men? Where are the scholars? Where are the philosophies of this world? God has made the wisdom of this world foolish.
1 Corinthians 1:20
21 This is what God wanted with his wisdom; The world did not know God by its wisdom. That is why God used a message that seems foolish to save those who believe in it.
1 Corinthians 1:21
22 The Jews demand miracles as proof. The Greeks demanded wisdom.
1 Corinthians 1:22
23 But this is the message that we preach; Christ died on the cross. This is a big problem for the Jews. And to the non-Jews this seems foolish.
1 Corinthians 1:23
24 But unto the elect, both Jews and Greeks, and Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God;
1 Corinthians 1:24
