1 Corinthians 1:16-18

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁶ I did, in fact, baptise the household^(A) of Stephanas;^(B) beyond that, I don’t recall whether I baptised anyone else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptise, but to preach the gospel – not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross^(C) of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

¹⁸ For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is the power of God to us who are being saved.^(D)
