1 Corinthians 1:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ Where is the wise person? Where is the ·educated person [scholar; or scribe; teacher of the law]? Where is the ·skilled talker [orator; debater; philosopher] of this ·world [age]? ·God has [^LHas not God…?] made the wisdom of the world foolish. ²¹ ·In the wisdom of God the world did [or God wisely determined that the world would] not know God through its own wisdom. So God ·chose [was pleased] to use the ·message that sounds foolish [^Lfolly/foolishness of what was preached] to save those who believe. ²² [^LFor; Since] The Jews ·ask for [demand] ·miracles [^Lsigns], and the Greeks ·want [seek; look for] wisdom.
