English Standard Version
1 Corinthians 1:19-24
English Standard Version
19 For it is written,
(A)“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
20 (B)Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? (C)Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach[a] to save those who believe. 22 For (D)Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ (E)crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (F)the power of God and (G)the wisdom of God.
