For
Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:
not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ
should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the
cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us
which are saved it is the power of God. For it is
written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will
bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where
is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer
of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of
this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the
world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
