noyes - 1Corinthians:1:18-2:5

noyes@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning."

noyes@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

noyes@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:22 @ since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumblingblock, and to gentiles foolishness,

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

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

noyes@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:27 @ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that no flesh might glory before God.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:31 @ that, according as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

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

noyes@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined not to know anything while with you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

noyes@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power;

noyes@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
