1 Corinthians 1:19-24 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of the age? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe. ²² And whereas the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks look for wisdom, we preach Christ crucified; ²³ to the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them that are called, ²⁴ both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
