Romans 1:16-17
New American Standard Bible
16 For I am not (A)ashamed of the gospel, for (B)it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the (C)Jew first and also to (D)the Greek. 17 For in it (E)the righteousness of God is revealed [a]from faith to faith; as it is written: “[b](F)But the righteous one will live by faith.”

1 Corinthians 1:17-21
New American Standard Bible
17 (A)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (B)not with [a]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.
The Wisdom of God
18 For the word of the cross is (C)foolishness to (D)those who [b]are perishing, but to us who [c]are being saved it is (E)the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“(F)I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.”
20 (G)Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of (H)this age? Has God not (I)made foolish the wisdom of (J)the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God (K)the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, (L)God [d]was pleased through the (M)foolishness of the [e]message preached to (N)save those who believe.

Ephesians 2:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 For (A)by grace you have been saved (B)through faith; and [a]this is not of yourselves, it is (C)the gift of God; 9 (D)not a result of works, so that (E)no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, (F)created in (G)Christ Jesus for (H)good works, which God (I)prepared beforehand so that we would (J)walk in them.
