NASB | 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me [as an apostle] to baptize, but [commissioned and empowered me] to preach the good news [of salvation]--not with clever and eloquent speech [as an orator], so that the cross of Christ would not be made ineffective [deprived of its saving power]. |
Bible Question: Does the begining of the gospel mean it begin with John |
Bible Answer: Hi, TOM2! Could you be more specific? Do you mean which of the four Gospels was written first? Since Gospel means: the message concerning Christ (it is about Christ), the kingdom of God (Christ is the only way into the Kingdom), salvation (Christ is the Resurrection and the Life--but for Him there's no Salvation!)... The Gospels are four narrations of Christ's incarnation, fulfillment of the Scriptures (Law and Prophets), His death, Resurrection and Ascension. Hence, every Gospel's objective is to introduce Christ to us! God Bless! Angel |
