"For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,"
— 1 Corinthians 1:22, NET Bible
“For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:”
“Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom: ”
“For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after 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 I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”
Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?
For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.
For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,
but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.
But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
