1 Corinthians 1:18-25 - Christ Crucified, The Power And Wisdom Of God
18 For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved - unto us, it is, God's power. 19 For it is written - I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 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. 22 Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek, 23 Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, - unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness; 24 But, unto the called themselves - both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God's power, and, God's wisdom. 25 Because, God's foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God's weak thing, mightier than men.
