1 Corinthians 1:19

---

← 1 Corinthians 1:18	1 Corinthians 1:19 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 1:20 →
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.	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?
