1 Corinthians 1:17-19
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For I Was Not Sent To Baptize, But To Announce The Gospel Without Wisdom of Speech
17 For Christ did not send me forth to be baptizing, but to be announcing-the-good-news— not in wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made-empty[a].
For God Intends The Gospel To Be Both Foolishness And Powerful
18 For the speech[b] of the cross is foolishness to the ones perishing, but is the power of God to us being saved. 19 For it has been written [in Isa 29:14]: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise ones, and I will set-aside the intelligence[c] of the intelligent ones”.
