1 Corinthians 1:18-24 For the worde of ye crosse is foolishnesse to the that perishe but vnto vs which are saued, it is the power of God.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ For the worde of ye crosse is foolishnesse to the that perishe but vnto vs which are saued, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is wrytte: I wyl destroye the wyssdome of the wyse, & wil cast away the vnderstondinge of ye prudet. ²⁰ Where are the wyse? Where are ye scrybes? where are ye disputers of this worlde? ²¹ Hath not God made the wyssdome of this worlde foolishnesse? For in so moch as the worlde by the wyssdome therof knewe not God in his wyssdome, it pleased God thorow foolish preachinge to saue them yt beleue. ²² For the Iewes requyre tokens, and the Grekes axe after wyssdome. ²³ But we preach Christ the crucified: to the Iewes an occasion off fallinge, and vnto the Grekes foolishnes. ²⁴ But vnto them that are called (both Iewes and Grekes) we preach Christ the power of God and the wyssdome off God.
