1 Wakorintho 1:17
1 Corinthians 1:17 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Kwa maana Kristo hakunituma ili kubatiza bali kuhubiri Injili; sio kwa maneno ya hekima ya kibinadamu, ili msalaba wa Kristo usije ukakosa nguvu yake.
1 Corinthians 1:17 in English
1 Corinthians 1:17 · Berean Standard Bible
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Context
15Kwa hiyo hakuna mtu yeyote anayeweza kusema kwamba alibatizwa kwa jina langu. 16(Naam, niliwabatiza pia watu wa nyumbani mwa Stefana. Lakini zaidi ya hao sijui kama nilimbatiza mtu mwingine yeyote.) 17Kwa maana Kristo hakunituma ili kubatiza bali kuhubiri Injili; sio kwa maneno ya hekima ya kibinadamu, ili msalaba wa Kristo usije ukakosa nguvu yake. 18Kwa maana ujumbe wa msalaba kwa wale wanaopotea ni upuzi, lakini kwetu sisi tunaookolewa ni nguvu ya Mungu. 19Kwa maana imeandikwa:
“Nitaiharibu hekima ya wenye hekima,
na kubatilisha akili ya wenye akili.”
