1 Corinthians 1:25

25. foolishness of God—that is, God's plan of salvation which men deem "foolishness."

weakness of God—Christ "crucified through weakness" (2Co 13:4, the great stumbling-block of the Jews), yet "living by the power of God." So He perfects strength out of the weakness of His servants (1Co 2:3; 2Co 12:9).
