1 Corinthians 1:20
| ← 1 Corinthians 1:19 | 1 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) | 1 Corinthians 1:21 → |
|---|---|---|
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?
|
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
