For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning." Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? read more.
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe; since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumblingblock, and to gentiles foolishness, but to those 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 consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble; but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong; and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything while with you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling; read more.
and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power; that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. But we do speak wisdom among the perfect; not, however, the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought; but we speak Gods wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God determined on before the world was, for our glory; which none of the rulers of this world comprehended; for had they comprehended it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but, as it is written: "The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and which have not entered into the heart of man, the great things which God hath prepared for those that love him." For God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of the man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no one but the Spirit of God. But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been given to us by the grace of God; which things we also speak, not in words taught by mans wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, connecting what is spiritual l with what is spiritual. But the unspiritual man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them; because they are spiritually discerned.
