kjc - 1Corinthians:1:18-2:5

kjc@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

kjc@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

kjc@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

kjc@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For after in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

kjc@1Corinthians:1:22 @ For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

kjc@1Corinthians:1:23 @ But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

kjc@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But unto those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

kjc@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

kjc@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

kjc@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

kjc@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

kjc@1Corinthians:1:29 @ That no flesh should glory in his presence.

kjc@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

kjc@1Corinthians:1:31 @ That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

kjc@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And I, brothers, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

kjc@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

kjc@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

kjc@1Corinthians:2:4 @ And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

kjc@1Corinthians:2:5 @ That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
