    25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

    26For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

    27but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

    28and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:

    29that no flesh should boast before God.

    30But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

    31that, according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

    17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News--not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn't be made void.

    18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

    19For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."

    20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

    21For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn't know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

    22For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

    23but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,

    4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

    5that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

    6We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

    7But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

    8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
