Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness; but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born: but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong; and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are, in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.
