1 Corinthians 1:17-29
17ForG1063 ChristG5547 sentG649 meG1473 notG3756 to baptizeG907, butG235 to preach the gospelG2097: notG3756 withG1722 wisdomG4678 of wordsG3056, lestG2443 the crossG3588G4716 of ChristG3588G5547 should be made of none effectG2758. 18ForG1063 the preachingG3588G3056 of the crossG3588G4716 isG1510 to themG3588 that perishG622 foolishnessG3472; butG1161 unto usG1473 which are savedG4982 it isG1510 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 19ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, I will destroyG622 the wisdomG3588G4678 of the wiseG4680, andG2532 will bring to nothingG114 the understandingG3588G4907 of the prudentG4908. 20WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680? whereG4226 is the scribeG1122? whereG4226 is the disputerG4804 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165? hath notG3780 GodG3588G2316 made foolishG3471 the wisdomG3588G4678 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889? 21ForG1063 after thatG1894 inG1722 the wisdomG3588G4678 of GodG3588G2316 the worldG3588G2889 byG1223 wisdomG3588G4678 knewG1097 notG3756 GodG3588G2316, it pleasedG2106 GodG3588G2316 byG1223 the foolishnessG3588G3472 of preachingG3588G2782 to saveG4982 themG3588 that believeG4100. 22ForG1894 the JewsG2453 requireG154 a signG4592, andG2532 the GreeksG1672 seekG2212 after wisdomG4678: 23ButG1161 weG1473 preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, unto the JewsG2453 a stumblingblockG4625, andG1161 unto the GreeksG1672 foolishnessG3472; 24ButG1161 unto themG846 whichG3588 are calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 the powerG1411 of GodG2316, andG2532 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316. 25BecauseG3754 the foolishnessG3474 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 wiserG4680 than menG3588G444; andG2532 the weaknessG772 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 strongerG2478 than menG3588G444.
26ForG1063 ye seeG991 yourG4771 callingG3588G2821, brethrenG80, how thatG3754 notG3756 manyG4183 wise menG4680 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, notG3756 manyG4183 mightyG1415, notG3756 manyG4183 nobleG2104, are called: 27ButG235 GodG3588G2316 hath chosenG1586 the foolish thingsG3474 of the worldG3588G2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG3588G2316 hath chosenG1586 the weak thingsG772 of the worldG3588G2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the thingsG3588 which are mightyG2478; 28AndG2532 base thingsG36 of the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 thingsG3588 which are despisedG1848, hathG1586 GodG3588G2316 chosenG1586, yea, andG2532 thingsG3588 which areG1510 notG3361, toG2443 bring to noughtG2673 thingsG3588 that areG1510: 29ThatG3704 noG3956 fleshG4561 should gloryG2744 inG1799 hisG846 presenceG1799.
