1 Corinthians 1:17-31

17
For CHRIST sent me not to baptize, but to preache the Gospel, not with wisdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ should be made of none effect.
18
For that preaching of the crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs, which are saued, it is the power of God.
19
For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent.
20
Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolishnesse?
21
For seeing the worlde by wisedome knewe not God in the wisedome of GOD, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue them that beleeue:
22
Seeing also that the Iewes require a signe, and the Grecians seeke after wisdome.
23
But wee preach Christ crucified: vnto the Iewes, euen a stumbling blocke, and vnto the Grecians, foolishnesse:
24
But vnto them which are called, both of the Iewes and Grecians, we preach Christ, the power of God, and the wisedome of God.
25
For the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.
26
For brethren, you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.
27
But God hath chosen the foolish thinges of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weake thinges of the worlde, to confound the mightie things,
28
And vile things of the worlde and thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, and thinges which are not, to bring to nought thinges that are,
29
That no flesh shoulde reioyce in his presence.
30
But ye are of him in Christ Iesus, who of God is made vnto vs wisedome and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption,
31
That, according as it is written, Hee that reioyceth, let him reioyce in the Lord.
