1 Corinthians 1:23-29 but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ but to you who are 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 you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born: ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong; ²⁸ and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are, ²⁹ in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.
