American Standard Version
"Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom: "
— 1 Corinthians 1:22, American Standard Version
“For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:”
“For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,”
“For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,”
“For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom.”
“Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge:”
“For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:”
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.
Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:
but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
but unto 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.
