1 Corinthians 1:18-25 - Christ Crucified, The Power And Wisdom Of God
18 For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God. 19 For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound.
20 Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age??here are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world? 21 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. 22 Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy, 23 but we come preaching a crucified Messiah??o Jews a stumbling-block, to Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
