|---|---|---|
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
|
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
|
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
