20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?Select 1 Corinthians 1:20
21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.Select 1 Corinthians 1:21
22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:Select 1 Corinthians 1:22
23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;Select 1 Corinthians 1:23
24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.Select 1 Corinthians 1:24
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.Select 1 Corinthians 1:25
26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:Select 1 Corinthians 1:26
27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;Select 1 Corinthians 1:27
