For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe. Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy, but we come preaching a crucified Messiah??o Jews a stumbling-block, to Greeks foolishness, but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, was on the point of offering up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promise was about to offer up his only son, of whom it had been said, It is through Isaac that your posterity will be traced. For he accounted God able even to raise from the dead, from whence, figuratively speaking, he did indeed receive him back again.
and Paul, according to his usual custom, went in to them and, for three Sabbath Days, he reasoned with them out of the Scriptures, explaining and quoting passages to prove that the Messiah had to suffer and to rise again from the dead and that "This Jesus whom I am proclaiming unto you is the Messiah." Some were persuaded and attached themselves to Paul and Silas, including a number of devout Greeks, and a large number of the leading women.
