| 1 Corinthians 1:18-21,24-29 | |
18) | For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. |
19) | For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. |
20) | 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? |
21) | For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. |
24) | But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. |
25) | Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. |
26) | For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: |
27) | But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; |
28) | And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: |
29) | That no flesh should glory in his presence. |
|
|
|
| 8) | Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. |
|
|
|
| 15) | The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. |
17) | Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. |
|
|
|
| 28) | He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. |
