1Corinthians:1:18-21
rsv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart."
rsv@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
rsv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
