1 Corinthians 1:18

MSG

NIV

18 The Message that points to Christ on the Cross seems like sheer silliness to those hellbent on destruction, but for those on the way of salvation it makes perfect sense. This is the way God works, and most powerfully as it turns out.
18 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.
