20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe.
22For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom,
23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,
He catches the wise in their craftiness,
