NASB
"For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
— 1 Corinthians 1:18, NASB
“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 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.”
so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.
Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."
Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
