17 For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good-news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful.
28 And God chose the common things of the world, and the disdained things, and the things that are not, so that he might make useless the things that are,
29 so that no flesh may boast before God.
4 And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of spirit and of power,
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself.
