For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

but God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinketh himself a wise man in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation and another man is building on it. But let each man take heed how he is building on it.

For to one man by the Spirit is given wise discourse; but to another speech [communicative] of knowledge by the same Spirit;

Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.

For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.

And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:

And again, The Lord has knowledge of the reasonings of the wise, that they are nothing.

My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame.

I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.
