1 Corinthians 1:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 But I did baptize the (A)household of Stephanas also; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else. 17 (B)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (C)not with [a]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.
The Wisdom of God
18 For the word of the cross is (D)foolishness to (E)those who [b]are perishing, but to us who [c]are being saved it is (F)the power of God.
