## 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 in Context (Verses 19–28 KJV)
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/19) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/20) 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 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/21) 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.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/22) For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/23) But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/24) But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/25) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/26) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, *are called*:
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/27) 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 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/28) 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:
