Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,

while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,

but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

To the Jews I have become like a Jew in order to win Jews; to men under the Law as if I were under the Law--although I am not--in order to win those who are under the Law;

Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor to the Church of God.

For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us--whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men--were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.
