lont - 1Corinthians:1:18-2:5

lont@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For this doctrine (the doctrine of the cross) is, indeed, foolishness to the destroyed; but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God.

lont@1Corinthians:1:19 @ «Therefore, it is written,» 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will set aside the knowledge of the prudent.'

lont@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? where the scribe? where the disputers of this world? Has not God shown the wisdom of this world to be folly?

lont@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For, when, in the wisdom of God, the world, through wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, through the foolishness of this proclamation, to save them who believe.

lont@1Corinthians:1:22 @ And though the Jews demand a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom;

lont@1Corinthians:1:23 @ yet we proclaim a crucified Christ: to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness:

lont@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

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

lont@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For you see the calling of you, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

lont@1Corinthians:1:27 @ but God has chosen the foolish of the world to put the wise to shame; and the weak God has chosen to put the strong to shame;

lont@1Corinthians:1:28 @ the ignoble of the world, and the despised, God has chosen; nay, those that are nothing, to reduce to nothing those that are;

lont@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that not flesh might boast in his presence.

lont@1Corinthians:1:30 @ Of him, therefore, you are in Christ Jesus, who is become to us wisdom from God, justification, also, and sanctification, and redemption.

lont@1Corinthians:1:31 @ «So that, as it is written,» 'Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.'

lont@1Corinthians:2:1 @ Now, when I cam to you, brethren, I came not with excellency of speech, and of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

lont@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined to make known nothing among you but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

lont@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My discourse, also, and my proclamation, were not with persuasive words of human wisdom; but with the demonstration of the Spirit, and of power.

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