1 Corinthians 1:23-29 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness. ²⁴ But to them, the called-out ones, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh are called, not many mighty, not many noble. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; ²⁸ and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are; ²⁹ so that no flesh should glory in His presence.
