1 Corinthians 1:24

← 1 Corinthians 1:23	1 Corinthians 1:24 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 1:25 →
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;	But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.	Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
