1 Corinthians 1:17-19

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel, and not with the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who perish; but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God.

¹⁹ For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
