King James Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:
New King James Version:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Benson explained: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.
Salvation involves sanctification which is a process.The great instrument whereby his power regenerates, sanctifies, and finally saves us.
