kjv 1Corinthians:1:18-29 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness ;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God .
*
For it is written ,
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise ,
and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent .
*
Where is the wise ?
where is the scribe ?
where is the disputer of this world ?
hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world ?
*
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God ,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe .
*
For the Jews require a sign ,
and the Greeks seek after wisdom :
*
But we preach Christ crucified ,
unto the Jews a stumblingblock ,
and unto the Greeks foolishness ;
*
But unto them which are called ,
both Jews and Greeks ,
Christ the power of God ,
and the wisdom of God .
*
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men ;
and the weakness of God is stronger than men .
*
For ye see your calling ,
brethren ,
how that not many wise men after the flesh ,
not many mighty ,
not many noble ,
are called :
*
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise ;
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty ;
*
And base things of the world ,
and things which are despised ,
hath God chosen ,
yea ,
and things which are not ,
to bring to nought things that are :
*
That no flesh should glory in his presence .
