For the Jews demand a miracle, and the Greeks seek wisdom:

but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offence, and to the Greeks folly;

but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

And I became to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

Give no occasion of stumbling either to the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God:

For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
