nkjv 1Corinthians:1:18-29 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing ,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God .
*
For it is written : "
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise ,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent ."
*
Where is the wise ?
Where is the scribe ?
Where is the disputer of this age ?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world ?
*
For since ,
in the wisdom of God ,
the world through wisdom did not know God ,
it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe .
*
For Jews request a sign ,
and Greeks seek after wisdom ;
*
but we preach Christ crucified ,
to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness ,
*
but to those who 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 you see your calling ,
brethren ,
that not many wise according to the flesh ,
not many mighty ,
not many noble ,
are called .
*
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise ,
and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty ;
*
and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen ,
and the things which are not ,
to bring to nothing the things that are ,
*
that no flesh should glory in His presence .
