Verse

1 Corinthians - ch 1 v 21 - 31

  1. 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.
  2. Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
  3. also we -- we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,
  4. and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,
  5. because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
  6. for see your calling, brethren, that not many `are' wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
  7. 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;
  8. 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 --
  9. that no flesh may glory before Him;
  10. and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
  11. that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying -- in the Lord let him glory.'
