1 Corinthians 1:20-25

New American Standard Bible

^20 (A)Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of ^(B)this age? Has God not ^(C)made foolish the wisdom of ^(D)the world? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God ^(E)the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, ^(F)God ^[a]was pleased through the ^(G)foolishness of the ^[b]message preached to ^(H)save those who believe. ²² For indeed ^(I)Jews ask for ^[c]signs and Greeks search for wisdom; ²³ but we preach ^[d](J)Christ crucified, ^(K)to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles ^(L)foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are ^(M)the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ ^(N)the power of God and ^(O)the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the ^(P)foolishness of God is wiser than mankind, and ^(Q)the weakness of God is stronger than mankind.
