For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

But to them that 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.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty:

And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who is made by God unto us wisdom,

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

That your faith might not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Yet we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: but not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery,

which God ordained before the world for our glory;

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which are freely given to us of God.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

For we are fellow-labourers of God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed how he buildeth thereon.

Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man destroy the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
