Summary: 



This vain discussion illustrates just one thing:

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to
us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For it is written:

	"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
	And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

Where is the wise?  Where is the scribe?  Where is the disputer of this age?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  For since, in the wisdom of
God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the
foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom, but we preach Christ
crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to
those who 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."

1 Corinthians 1:18-25, NKJV
