1 Corinthians

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
