Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shown.
Corinthians 1: Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning.
