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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 17 is found in chapter 1 of 1 Corinthians. Paul places his personal role in proper perspective regarding baptism and emphasizes that his primary mission is to proclaim the gospel. This contrast prepares the assertion that the power of the gospel does not depend on the rhetorical skill of its messenger.
