22 ) For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
-
23 ) But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness,

24 ) But unto them which 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.
