New Testament1 CorinthiansThe Message of the Cross · 1:18–251:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
