17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
4 And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
