17. ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ್ದು ದೀಕ್ಷಾಸ್ನಾನಮಾಡಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕಲ್ಲ ಆದರೆ ಸುವಾರ್ತೆಯನ್ನು ಸಾರುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೇ. ಅದನ್ನು [‡ 1 ಕೊರಿ 2:1,4,13] ಮನುಷ್ಯಜ್ಞಾನದ ಮಾತುಗಳಿಂದ ಸಾರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕಳುಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ; ಹಾಗೆ ಸಾರಿದರೆ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಶಿಲುಬೆಯ ಶಕ್ತಿಯು ಮಾತಿನ ಚತುರತೆಯಿಂದ ನಿರರ್ಥಕವಾಗಿ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ.

17. ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಮಾಡಿಸುವದಕ್ಕಲ್ಲ, ಸುವಾರ್ತೆಯನ್ನು ಸಾರುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದನು. ವಾಕ್ಚಾತುರ್ಯದಿಂದ ಸಾರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕಳುಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ; ಹಾಗೆ ಸಾರಿದರೆ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಶಿಲುಬೆಯು ನಿರರ್ಥಕವಾಗುವದು.

ERVKN
17. ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿರುವುದು ದೀಕ್ಷಾಸ್ನಾನವನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವುದಕ್ಕಲ್ಲ, ಸುವಾರ್ತೆಯನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯಷ್ಟೆ. ಆದರೆ ವಾಕ್ಚಾತುರ್ಯದಿಂದ ಸಾರುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕಳುಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾನೇನಾದರೂ ಲೋಕಜ್ಞಾನದಿಂದ ಸುವಾರ್ತೆ ಸಾರಿದ್ದೇಯಾದರೆ, ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಶಿಲುಬೆಯೇ ನಿರರ್ಥಕವಾಗುವುದು.
