15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.
16 Yes, I also baptized the household of aStephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, anot with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Christ the Power and Wisdom of God
18 For the1 message of the cross is afoolishness to bthose who are perishing, but to us cwho are being saved it is the dpower of God.
19 For it is written:
a“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
a“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20 aWhere is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the1 disputer of this age? bHas not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
