1 Corinthians 1:22-31 ▼

22 Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

23 also we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

24 and to those called—both Jews and Greeks—Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

26 for see your calling, brothers, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that He may put the wise to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world that He may put the strong to shame;

28 and God chose the base things of the world, and the things despised, and the things that are not, that He may make useless the things that are—

29 that no flesh may glory before Him;

30 but out of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

31 that, according as it has been written: “He who is glorying—let him glory in the LORD.”
