18For the wordG3056 of the crossG4716 is 1foolishnessG3472 to 2thoseG3588 who 3are perishingG622, but to us who 4are being savedG4982 it is 5the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 19For it is writtenG1125, “6I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wiseG4680, And the clevernessG4907 of the cleverG4908 I will setG114 asideG114.” 207WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680 manG4680? WhereG4226 is the scribeG1122? WhereG4226 is the debaterG4804 of 8thisG3778 ageG165? Has not GodG2316 9madeG3471 foolishG3471 the wisdomG4678 of 10the worldG2889?
