1 Corinthians 1:18 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1
16 Y también bauticé la familia de Estéfanas: mas no sé si he bautizado algún otro.
17 Porque no me envió Cristo á bautizar, sino á predicar el evangelio: no en sabiduría de palabras, porque no sea hecha vana la cruz de Cristo.
18 Porque la palabra de la cruz es locura á los que se pierden; mas á los que se salvan, [es á saber], á nosotros, es potencia de Dios.
19 Porque está escrito: Destruiré la sabiduría de los sabios, y desecharé la inteligencia de los entendidos.
20 ¿Qué es del sabio? ¿qué del escriba? ¿qué del escudriñador de este siglo? ¿no ha enloquecido Dios la sabiduría del mundo?
