1 Corinthians 1:18-29

ECB(i) 18 For the word of the stake is to them who destruct, foolishness indeed; and to us, being saved, the dynamis of Elohim. 19 For it is scribed, I destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the comprehension of the comprehending. Isaiah 29:14 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this eon? Elohim indeed, follies he not the wisdom of this cosmos? 21 For since in the wisdom of Elohim the cosmos knew not Elohim through wisdom, Elohim well-approved that through the foolishness of preaching to save them who trust. 22 Since the Yah Hudiym ask a sign and the Hellenes seek after wisdom: 23 we also - we preach Messiah staked - to the Yah Hudiym, indeed a scandal and to the Hellenes foolishness; 24 and to the called - both Yah Hudiym and Hellenes, Messiah - the dynamis of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim. 25 Because the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than humanity; and the frailty of Elohim mightier than humanity. 26 For you see your calling brothers, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many able, not many well-birthed: 27 But Elohim selects the foolish of the cosmos to shame the wise; and Elohim selects the frailties of the cosmos to shame the mighty; 28 and the ignoble of the cosmos and the belittled Elohim selects; yes, and those not being to inactivate those being: 29 so that no flesh boasts in his sight.
