1 Corinthians 1:22-25

Murdock(i) 22 Because the Jews ask for signs, and the Gentiles demand wisdom. 23 But we preach Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Gentiles; 24 but to them who are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Messiah is the energy of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God, is wiser than men; and the feebleness of God, is stronger than men.
