14. I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;
15. lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.
16. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
18. For the word of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God.
19. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the prudence of the prudent will I reject.
