17. Formal Translation For Christ {Christos, Commissioning Messiah} did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, not in wisdom of word, so that the cross of Christ should not be emptied of its power. |
17. Dynamic Translation For Christ {Christos, Appointing Savior} did not send me to perform baptisms, but to share the good news, not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be stripped of its power. |
