For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
-
Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
-
but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
-
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
-
so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
-
But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have.
-
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
-
So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
-
By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
-
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
-
Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
-
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
-
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
