1 Corinthians 1:18, 30
1 Corinthians 1:18 ICB
The teaching about the cross seems foolish to those who are lost. But to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:30 ICB
It is God who has made you part of Christ Jesus. Christ has become wisdom for us from God. Christ is the reason we are right with God and have freedom from sin; Christ is the reason we are holy.
