1 Corinthians 1:21-24

JuliaSmith(i) 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was contented by the foolishness of proclaiming to save them believing. 22 And since the Jews ask a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom: 23 And we proclaim Christ crucified, to the Jews truly a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; 24 And to these the called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and wisdom of God.
