10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. Synopsis: God's foolishness is mans salvation. 18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment…

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony.

Miksi pakanat pauhaavat ja kansat turhia ajattelevat? Maan kuninkaat nousevat, ruhtinaat yhdessä neuvottelevat Herraa ja hänen voideltuansa vastaan: “Katkaiskaamme heidän kahleensa, heittäkäämme päältämme heidän köytensä”. Sillä minä en häpeä evankeliumia; sillä se on Jumalan voima, itsekullekin uskovalle…

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
