strkjv 1Corinthians:1:18-29 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the preaching of the cross is (
5748 )
to them that perish (
5730 )
foolishness ;
but unto us which are saved (
5746 )
it is (
5748 )
the power of God .
*
For it is written (
5769 ),
I will destroy (
5692 )
the wisdom of the wise ,
and will bring to nothing (
5692 )
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 (
5656 )
the wisdom of this world ?
*
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew (
5627 )
not God ,
it pleased (
5656 )
God by the foolishness of preaching to save (
5658 )
them that believe (
5723 ).
*
For the Jews require (
5719 )
a sign ,
and the Greeks seek (
5719 )
after wisdom :
*
But we preach (
5719 )
Christ crucified (
5772 ),
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 (
5748 )
wiser than men ;
and the weakness of God is (
5748 )
stronger than men .
*
For ye see (
5719 )
your calling ,
brethren ,
how that not many wise men after the flesh ,
not many mighty ,
not many noble ,
are called :
*
But God hath chosen (
5668 )
the foolish things of the world to confound (
5725 )
the wise ;
and God hath chosen (
5668 )
the weak things of the world to confound (
5725 )
the things which are mighty ;
*
And base things of the world ,
and things which are despised (
5772 ),
hath God chosen (
5668 ),
yea ,
and things which are (
5752 )
not ,
to bring to nought (
5661 )
things that are (
5752 ):
*
That no flesh should glory (
5667 )
in his presence .
