1 Corinthians 1:18-25 - Christ Crucified, The Power And Wisdom Of God
18 For the doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish, foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of the age? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe. 22 And whereas the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks look for wisdom, we preach Christ crucified; 23 to the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them that are called, 24 both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God, as they call it, is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
