1 Corinthians 1:19
Compare all
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, anot with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.  

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

18 For the1 message of the cross is afoolishness to bthose who are perishing, but to us cwho are being saved it is the dpower of God.  
19 For it is written:
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.

1 Corinthians 1:19

I Corinthians 1:19 I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. By turning to the passage in Isaiah 29:14, its meaning is clear. God will put aside the wisdom and understanding of men; these will not save; but he will save by what the world called foolishness.
