"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."

"For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!"

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."

"If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."
