23but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews {G3303} a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
24but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

26For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
27but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest {G3361} the cross of Christ should be made void.

4And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of {G442} wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

8which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:
