1 Corinthians 1:17, 21
1 Corinthians 1:17 NCV
Christ did not send me to baptize people but to preach the Good News. And he sent me to preach the Good News without using words of human wisdom so that the cross of Christ would not lose its power.
1 Corinthians 1:21 NCV
In the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its own wisdom. So God chose to use the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe.
