1 Corinthians 1:22

Compare all

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.
