The Cross: God's Power, Human Foolishness

1 Corinthians 1:18-25

For that preaching of the crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs, which are saued, it is the power of God.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent.

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?

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:

Seeing also that the Iewes require a signe, and the Grecians seeke after wisdome.

But wee preach Christ crucified: vnto the Iewes, euen a stumbling blocke, and vnto the Grecians, foolishnesse:

But vnto them which are called, both of the Iewes and Grecians, we preach Christ, the power of God, and the wisedome of God.

For the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.
