1 Corinthians 1:18-25 - Christ Crucified, The Power And Wisdom Of God

18 For truly the word of the cross to them perishing is foolishness; but to us saved it is the power of God. 19 For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and put away the understanding of the intelligent.

20 Where the wise? where the scribe? where the seekers together of this life has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was contented by the foolishness of proclaiming to save them believing. 22 And since the Jews ask a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom: 23 And we proclaim Christ crucified, to the Jews truly a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; 24 And to these the called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and wisdom of God. 25 For the foolish thing of God is wiser than men; and the weak thing of God is stronger than men.
