23but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;


In Context

20 Where is the wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.

22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;

23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;

24 but to those that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.

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