highlighted 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 NASB

For the word of the cross is afoolishness to bthose who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is cthe power of God.For it is written, "aI WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."aWhere is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of bthis age? Has not God cmade foolish the wisdom of dthe world?For since in the wisdom of God athe world through its wisdom did not come to know God, bGod was well-pleased through the cfoolishness of the message preached to dsave those who believe.For indeed aJews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;but we preach aChrist crucified, bto Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles cfoolishness,but to those who are athe called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ bthe power of God and cthe wisdom of God.Because the afoolishness of God is wiser than men, and bthe weakness of God is stronger than men.For consider your acalling, brethren, that there were bnot many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;but aGod has chosen the foolish things of bthe world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of bthe world to shame the things which are strong,and the base things of athe world and the despised God has chosen, bthe things that are not, so that He may cnullify the things that are,so that ano man may boast before God.But by His doing you are in aChrist Jesus, who became to us bwisdom from God, and crighteousness and dsanctification, and eredemption,so that, just as it is written, "aLET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE Lord."

Come, see the place where He was lying."Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you ainto Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

but sanctify aChrist as Lord in your hearts, always being ready bto make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the ahope that is in you, yet cwith gentleness and dreverence;and keep a agood conscience so that in the thing in which byou are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.For ait is better, bif God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.For aChrist also died for sins bonce for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might cbring us to God, having been put to death din the flesh, but made alive ein the spirit;in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,who once were disobedient, when the apatience of God bkept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of cthe ark, in which a few, that is, deight epersons, were brought safely through the water.aCorresponding to that, baptism now saves you--bnot the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a cgood conscience--through dthe resurrection of Jesus Christ,awho is at the right hand of God, bhaving gone into heaven, cafter angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, 'You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.'"aWhen any person eats an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, whether he is a native or an alien, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening; then he will become clean."But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, then ahe shall bear his guilt."

He has shed blood and that man shall be cut off from among his people."The reason is so that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they were sacrificing in the open field, that they may bring them in to the Lord, at the doorway of the tent of meeting to the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the Lord."The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and aoffer up the fat in smoke as a soothing aroma to the Lord."aThey shall no longer sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat demons with which they play the harlot. This shall be a permanent statute to them throughout their generations."'"Then you shall say to them, 'Any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,and adoes not bring it to the doorway of the tent of meeting to offer it to the Lord, that man also shall be cut off from his people.
