14. I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;
15. Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.
16. And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; 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 speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
18. For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, 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 I will reject.
