We Preach Christ Crucified

hrist the Power and Wisdom of God
18For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.19For it is written,

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.

20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of the proclamation, to save those who believe.22For Jews ask for signs and Greeks desire wisdom,23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to gentiles,24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.25For Gods foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and Gods weakness is stronger than human strength.
