1 Corinthians 1:22-25
New International Version
22 Jews demand signs(A) and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified:(B) a stumbling block(C) to Jews and foolishness(D) to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called,(E) both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God(F) and the wisdom of God.(G) 25 For the foolishness(H) of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness(I) of God is stronger than human strength.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
New International Version
2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom(A) as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.(B) 3 I came to you(C) in weakness(D) with great fear and trembling.(E) 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,(F) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,(G) 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.(H)
