1 Corinthians 1:16-18
Revised Geneva Translation
16 Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. But I do not know whether I baptized any other besides that.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel (not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect).
18 For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness. But to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:16-18
New International Version
16 (Yes, I also baptized the household(A) of Stephanas;(B) beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize,(C) but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom(D) and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness(E) to those who are perishing,(F) but to us who are being saved(G) it is the power of God.(H)
