1 Corinthians 1:17-20

17For ChristG5547 sentG649 me not to baptizeG907, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdomG4678 of wordsG3056, lestG3361 the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 should be made voidG2758.

18For the wordG3056 of the crossG4716 isG1510 to them that perishG622 foolishnessG3472; but unto us who areG1510 savedG4982 it isG1510 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 19For it is writtenG1125,

I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wiseG4680,And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.

20WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680? whereG4226 is the scribeG1122? whereG4226 is the disputer of this worldG2889? hath not GodG2316 made foolish the wisdomG4678 of the worldG2889?
