For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.For the word of the cross is folly 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 discernment of the discerning I will thwart."

For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
