17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
32 and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."
4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
27 but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,
28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
