1 Corinthians 1:14-20

14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.

16I did, in fact, baptize the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t recall if I baptized anyone else.

17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel — not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.

18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is the power of God to us who are being saved.

19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the intelligence of the intelligent.

20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made the world’s wisdom foolish?
