King James Version
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
— 1 Corinthians 1:18, King James Version
“For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God. ”
“For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.”
“The Message of the Cross 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.”
“For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.”
“For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.”
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
