Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”

Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?

Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.
