1 Corinthians - ch 1 v 21 - 31
- for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
- Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
- also we -- we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,
- and to those 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 see your calling, brethren, that not many `are' wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
- but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;
- and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless --
- that no flesh may glory before Him;
- and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
- that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying -- in the Lord let him glory.'
