  • 1 Cor 1:18-31 : 18 For the preachyng of the crosse, is to them that perishe foolishnesse: but vnto vs which are saued, it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I wyll destroye the wisedome of the wyse, and wyll cast away the vnderstandyng of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is ye scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? Hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolyshenesse? 21 For after that the world through wisedome knewe not God, in the wisedome of God: it pleased God through foolishnesse of preachyng to saue them that beleue. 22 For the Iewes require a signe, & the Grekes seke after wisedome: 23 But we preache Christe crucified, vnto the Iewes a stumblyng blocke, and vnto the Grekes foolyshnesse: 24 But vnto them which are called both of the Iewes and Grekes we preache Christe the power of God, and the wisedome of God. 25 For the foolishnesse of God, is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God, is stronger then men. 26 Brethren, ye see your callyng, howe that not many wise men after the fleshe, not many myghtie, not many noble are called. 27 But God hath chosen the foolyshe thynges of the worlde, to confounde the wise: And God hath chosen the weake thynges of the worlde, to confounde thynges which are myghtie: 28 And vnnoble thynges of the worlde, & thinges which are despysed, hath God chosen, yea and thinges which are not, to bryng to naught thynges that are: 29 That no fleshe shoulde reioyce in his presence. 30 And of hym are ye in Christe Iesu, whiche of God is made vnto vs wisedome, and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That accordyng as it is written: he that reioyceth, let hym reioyce in the Lorde.
