WNT(i)
21 For after the world by its wisdom--as God in His wisdom had ordained--had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.
22 Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,
23 while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,
24 but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
