1 Corinthians 1:16-28

16NowG1161 I did baptizeG907 alsoG2532 the 1householdG3624 of StephanasG4734; beyondG3062 that, I do not knowG3609 whetherG1487 I baptizedG907 anyG5100 otherG243. 172For ChristG5547 did not sendG649 me to baptizeG907, but to preachG2097 the gospelG2097, 3not in 4clevernessG4678 of speechG3056, soG2443 that the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 would not be madeG2758 voidG2758.

18For the wordG3056 of the crossG4716 is 5foolishnessG3472 to 6thoseG3588 who 7are perishingG622, but to us who 8are being savedG4982 it is 9the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 19For it is writtenG1125, “10I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wiseG4680, And the clevernessG4907 of the cleverG4908 I will setG114 asideG114.” 2011WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680 manG4680? WhereG4226 is the scribeG1122? WhereG4226 is the debaterG4804 of 12thisG3778 ageG165? Has not GodG2316 13madeG3471 foolishG3471 the wisdomG4678 of 14the worldG2889? 21For sinceG1894 in the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 15the worldG2889 throughG1223 its wisdomG4678 did not come to knowG1097 GodG2316, 16GodG2316 was well-pleasedG2106 throughG1223 the 17foolishnessG3472 of the 18messageG2782 preachedG2782 to 19saveG4982 thoseG3588 who believeG4100. 22For indeedG2532 20JewsG2453 askG154 for 21signsG4592 and GreeksG1672 searchG2212 for wisdomG4678; 23but we preachG2784 2223ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, 24to JewsG2453 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 and to GentilesG1484 25foolishnessG3472, 24but to thoseG3588 who are 26the calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 27the powerG1411 of GodG2316 and 28the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316. 25BecauseG3754 the 29foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 is wiserG4680 than menG444, and 30the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 is strongerG2478 than menG444.

26For 31considerG991 your 32callingG2821, brethrenG80, that there were 33not manyG4183 wiseG4680 accordingG2596 to 34the fleshG4561, not manyG4183 mightyG1415, not manyG4183 nobleG2104; 27but 35GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the foolishG3474 thingsG3474 of 36the worldG2889 to shameG2617 the wiseG4680, and GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the weakG772 thingsG772 of 37the worldG2889 to shameG2617 the things whichG2478 are strongG2478, 28and the baseG36 thingsG36 of 38the worldG2889 and the despisedG1848 GodG2316 has chosenG1586, 39the things that are not, soG2443 that He may 40nullifyG2673 the things that are,
