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

but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:

that no flesh should boast before God.

But of him, you are in Messiah Yeshua, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
