20. Where is the wise one? Where is the Torah scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21. For seeing that—in God’s wisdom—the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased—through the foolishness of the message proclaimed—to save those who believe.
22. For Jewish people ask for signs and Greek people seek after wisdom,
23. but we proclaim Messiah crucified—a stumbling block to Jewish people and foolishness to Gentile people,
24. but to those who are called (both Jewish and Greek people), Messiah, the power of God and the wisdom of God.
