1 Corinthians 1:18-25

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? 21For sinceG1894 in the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 11the worldG2889 throughG1223 its wisdomG4678 did not come to knowG1097 GodG2316, 12GodG2316 was well-pleasedG2106 throughG1223 the 13foolishnessG3472 of the 14messageG2782 preachedG2782 to 15saveG4982 thoseG3588 who believeG4100. 22For indeedG2532 16JewsG2453 askG154 for 17signsG4592 and GreeksG1672 searchG2212 for wisdomG4678; 23but we preachG2784 1819ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, 20to JewsG2453 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 and to GentilesG1484 21foolishnessG3472, 24but to thoseG3588 who are 22the calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 23the powerG1411 of GodG2316 and 24the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316. 25BecauseG3754 the 25foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 is wiserG4680 than menG444, and 26the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 is strongerG2478 than menG444.
