ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧:૧૮
કેમ કે નાશ પામનારાઓને તો વધસ્તંભની વાત મૂર્ખતા જેવી લાગે છે; પણ અમો ઉદ્ધાર પામનારાઓને તો તે ઈશ્વરનું સામર્થ્ય છે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १:१८
क्योंकि क्रूस की कथा नाश होनेवालों के निकट मूर्खता है, परन्तु हम उद्धार पानेवालों के निकट परमेश्वर की सामर्थ्य है।

In context

16(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)

17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.

18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
