1 Corinthians 1:17-19

171For ChristG5547 did not sendG649 me to baptizeG907, but to preachG2097 the gospelG2097, 2not in 3clevernessG4678 of speechG3056, soG2443 that the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 would not be madeG2758 voidG2758.

18For the wordG3056 of the crossG4716 is 4foolishnessG3472 to 5thoseG3588 who 6are perishingG622, but to us who 7are being savedG4982 it is 8the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 19For it is writtenG1125, “9I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wiseG4680, And the clevernessG4907 of the cleverG4908 I will setG114 asideG114.”
