1 Corinthians 1:24

Read in context

1 Corinthians 1:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,

23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness 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 man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

26 Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.
