King James Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:

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.
New King James Version:

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.
Benson explained:

The great instrument whereby his power regenerates, sanctifies, and finally saves us.
Salvation involves sanctification which is a process.
