1 Corinthians 1:16-28

16But I did baptizeG907 the 1householdG3624 of StephanasG4734 alsoG2532; beyondG3062 thatG3062, I do not knowG3609 ifG1487 I baptizedG907 anyoneG5100 elseG243. 172For ChristG5547 did not sendG649 me to baptizeG907, but to preachG2097 the gospelG2097, 3not with 4clevernessG4678 of speechG3056, soG2443 thatG2443 the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 would not be madeG2758 ofG2758 noG2758 effectG2758.

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 understandingG4907 of thoseG3588 who haveG4908 understandingG4908, I will confoundG114.” 2011WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680 personG4680? WhereG4226 is the scribeG1122? WhereG4226 is the debaterG4804 of 12thisG3778 ageG165? Has GodG2316 not 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 17was pleasedG2106 throughG1223 the 18foolishnessG3472 of the 19messageG2782 preachedG2782 to 20saveG4982 thoseG3588 who believeG4100. 22For indeedG2532 21JewsG2453 askG154 for 22signsG4592 and GreeksG1672 searchG2212 forG2212 wisdomG4678; 23but we preachG2784 2324ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, 25to JewsG2453 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625, and to GentilesG1484 26foolishnessG3472, 24but to thoseG3588 who are 27the calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 28the powerG1411 of GodG2316 and 29the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316. 25For the 30foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 is wiserG4680 than mankindG444, and 31the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 is strongerG2478 than mankindG444.

26For 32considerG991 your 33callingG2821, brothersG80 and sisters, that there were 34not manyG4183 wiseG4680 accordingG2596 to 35the fleshG4561, not manyG4183 mightyG1415, not manyG4183 nobleG2104; 27but 36GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the foolishG3474 thingsG3474 of 37the worldG2889 to shameG2617 the wiseG4680, and GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the weakG772 thingsG772 of 38the worldG2889 to shameG2617 the thingsG2478 which are strongG2478, 28and the 39insignificantG36 thingsG36 of 40the worldG2889 and the despisedG1848 GodG2316 has chosenG1586, 41the things that are not, soG2443 thatG2443 He may 42nullifyG2673 the things that are,
