1 Corinthians 1:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.) ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, not with clever speech^[a], lest the cross of Christ be emptied.

Christ Crucified, the Power and Wisdom of God

¹⁸ For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
