Christ Jesus Became for Us Wisdom from God

Christ Jesus Became for Us Wisdom from God.  1 Corinthians 1:18-31

 ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

 ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart."

 ²⁰ Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

 ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

 ²² For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,

 ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,

 ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

 ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

 ²⁶ For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

 ²⁷ But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

 ²⁸ God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,

 ²⁹ so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

 ³⁰ And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

 ³¹ so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
