    25For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

    26Think about the circumstances of your call, brothers and sisters. Not many were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position.

    27But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise, and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong.

    28God chose what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,

    29so that no one can boast in his presence.

    30He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

    31so that, as it is written,“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

    17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel– and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless.

    18The Message of the Cross For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

    19For it is written,“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”

    20Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?

    21For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.

    22For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,

    23but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.

    4My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

    5so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on the power of God.

    6Wisdom from God Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

    7Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.

    8None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
