23But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;


In Context

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

21 For when 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.

22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:

23 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;

24 But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

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