  7. 1 Cor. 1:17-18 • 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 none effect.[18] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

  8. 1 Cor. 1:23 • But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

  9. 1 Cor. 2:1-2 • [1] And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.[2] For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

  10. 1 Cor. 15:1-4 • Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;[2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

  11. 1 Cor. 15:1-4 • For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;[4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

  15. Eph. 2:14-15 • 14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, NKJV
