1 Corinthians
1:19-25 KJV
“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.
For
the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after
wisdom:
But
we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling
block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
But
unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ
the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger
than men.”
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 NLT (v.
26) and KJV
“Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of
you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy
when God called you.
“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the
world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the things which are
mighty;
“And base things of the world, and things which
are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are
not, to bring to naught things that are:
“That no flesh should glory in his presence.”
1 Corinthians 3:18-20
“Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think
you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to
become a fool to be truly wise. For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness to God.
As the Scriptures say,
‘He traps
the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness.[Job 5:13]’
And again,
‘The LORD
knows the thoughts of the wise;
He knows they are worthless. [Psalm
94:11]’”
