Christ the Wisdom and Power of God

18 For the word of the cross is ^qfolly to ^rthose who are perishing, but to us ^swho are being saved it is ^tthe power of God. 19 For it is written,

^u“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
20 ^vWhere is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? ^wHas not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach ^{▼▼Or the folly of preaching} to save those who believe. 22 For ^yJews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ ^zcrucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ ^aathe power of God and ^abthe wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 For consider your calling, brothers: ^acnot many of you were wise according to worldly standards, ^{▼▼Greek according to the flesh} not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But ^aeGod chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; ^afGod chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even ^agthings that are not, to ^ahbring to nothing things that are, 29 so ^aithat no human being ^{▼▼Greek no flesh} might boast in the presence of God.

2 Timothy 3:15

15 and how ^akfrom childhood you have been acquainted with ^althe sacred writings, ^amwhich are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
