For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom,

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.

Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God’s power and God’s wisdom,

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law.

Give no offense to the Jews or the Greeks or the church of God,

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
