| | | | 7) | And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. |
| 8) | For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. |
| 9) | And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. |
| 10) | Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. |

| 8) | Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; |

| 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. |
|
|
|
| | 4) | And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: |
| 5) | That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. |
| This promise is also in: Faith |
