Brothers and sisters:
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
For it is written:
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the learning of the learned I will set aside.
Where is the wise one?
Where is the scribe?
Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish?
For since in the wisdom of God
the world did not come to know God through wisdom,
it was the wisdom of God through the foolishness of the proclamation
to save those who have faith.
For Jews demand signs and the Greeks look for wisdom,
but we proclaim Christ crucified,
a stumbling block to Jews and Greeks alike,
Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,
and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
