“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.”

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word, I preached to you, otherwise, you have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 2:1,2
