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

    21for, 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.

    22Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

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

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

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

    26for see your calling, brethren, that not many `are' wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

    27but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

    28and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless --

    29that no flesh may glory before Him;

    30and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

    31that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying -- in the Lord let him glory.'

    7but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,
