林前:1:18 | For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. |
林前:1:19 | For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. |
林前: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? |
林前: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. |
林前:1:22 | For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: |
林前:1:23 | But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; |
林前:1:24 | But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. |
林前:1:25 | Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. |
林前:1:26 | For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: |
林前:1:27 | But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; |
林前:1:28 | And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: |
林前:1:29 | That no flesh should glory in his presence. |
林前:1:30 | But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: |
林前:1:31 | That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. |
