    18 for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us -- those being saved -- it is the power of God,

    19 for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

    20 where `is' the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

    21 for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

    23 also we -- we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

    24 and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

    25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
