1 Corinthians 1:19-21 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will frustrate."

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will frustrate." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
