1 Corinthians 1:18-24

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.

1 Corinthians 2:5

5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men ^{▼▼The Greek word anthropoi can refer to both men and women} but ^adin the power of God.

2 Corinthians 13:3

3 since you seek proof that Christ ^aeis speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but ^afis powerful among you.
