sentence diagramming a scripture

[TheSeeker2014]

I thought I would give this a try, but of course I picked a hard sentence for this... and it being old english...
didn't know if anyone else did this and who is more familiar with it than I am?
I haven't done this in years.
Not sure if this is diagrammed right. is it?

Thank you, I've seen sentence diagramming before, but I couldn't see benefits from this technique. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Doesn't quite look right to me. The "branches" shouldn't be joining up, for a start. Also, the "it is ..." refers back to "the word ...," and the bits in brackets are side branches.

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).

I thought for was a preposition and since the sentence started out with that it goes on top instead of under?

I made no comment on where "for" should go. But, like I said, "it" refers back to "the word." Also, these three coloured sections are distinct "chunks":

the word (of the cross)
is folly (to those who are perishing)
(to us who are being saved) it is the power (of God).
