19 It is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the sages, I will confound the insight of the wise.
20 Sage, scribe, critic of this world, where are they all? Has not God stultified the wisdom of the world?
21 For when the world with all its wisdom failed to know God in his wisdom, God resolved to save believers by the 'sheer folly' of the Christian message.
22 Jews demand miracles and Greeks want wisdom,
23 but our message is Christ the crucified — a stumbling-block to the Jews, 'sheer folly' to the Gentiles,
24 but for those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, a Christ who is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
