1 Corinthians 1:20-25

English Standard Version

^20 (A)Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? ^(B)Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach^[a] to save those who believe. ²² For ^(C)Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ ^(D)crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ ^(E)the power of God and ^(F)the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
