1 Corinthians 1:17-20

171For ChristG5547 did not sendG649 me to baptizeG907, but to preachG2097 the gospelG2097, 2not with 3clevernessG4678 of speechG3056, soG2443 thatG2443 the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 would not be madeG2758 ofG2758 noG2758 effectG2758.

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 understandingG4907 of thoseG3588 who haveG4908 understandingG4908, I will confoundG114.” 2010WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680 personG4680? WhereG4226 is the scribeG1122? WhereG4226 is the debaterG4804 of 11thisG3778 ageG165? Has GodG2316 not 12madeG3471 foolishG3471 the wisdomG4678 of 13the worldG2889?
