“Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,

I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
