19 For it is written:
a“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
a“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20 aWhere is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the1 disputer of this age? bHas not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For since, in the awisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
22 For aJews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;
23 but we preach Christ crucified, ato the Jews a stumbling block and to the2 Greeks bfoolishness,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ athe power of God and bthe wisdom of God.
