1 Corinthians 1:18 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1
16 Também batizei aos da casa de Estefanas; além desses, não sei se batizei algum outro.
17 Porque Cristo não me enviou para batizar, mas sim, para evangelizar; não com sabedoria de palavras, para que a cruz de Cristo não se torne inútil.
18 Porque a palavra da cruz é loucura para os que perecem; mas para os que se salvam é poder de Deus.
19 Porque está escrito: Destruirei a sabedoria dos sábios, e aniquilarei a inteligência dos inteligentes.
20 Onde está o sábio? Onde está o escriba? Onde está o questionador desta era? Por acaso Deus não tornou a sabedoria deste mundo em loucura?
