Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? read more.
For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased - through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe. Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek, Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, - unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness; But, unto the called themselves - both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God's power, and, God's wisdom. Because, God's foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God's weak thing, mightier than men. For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, - that there were not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born: On the contrary - the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty, And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, - and the things that are not, - that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;

But, as for us, - not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, - that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: - Which we also speak - not in words taught of human wisdom, but in such as are taught of the Spirit, by spiritual words, spiritual things, explaining. But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

Then call thou, and, I, will answer, Or I will speak, and reply thou unto me. How many are mine iniquities and sins? My transgression and my sin, let me know! Wherefore, thy face, shouldst thou hide? Or count me, as an enemy to thee? A driven leaf, wilt thou cause to tremble? Or, dry stubble, wilt thou pursue? For thou writest, against me, bitter things, and dost make me inherit the iniquities of my youth; And thou dost put - in the stocks - my feet, and observest all my paths, Against the roots of my feet, thou dost cut out a bound; And, a man himself, as a rotten thing, weareth out, as a garment which the moth hath eaten.
