18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Luke 23
39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!”40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Philippians 2
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
