For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; but we
preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but to
those who are the 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
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. John
1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
1 Corinthians 1:10–31 (NASB95) 10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be
made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people,
that there are quarrels among you. 12 Now I mean this, that each one
of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I
of Christ.” 13
Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or
were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized
none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one would say you
were baptized in my name. 16 Now I did baptize also the
household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any
other. 17
For Christ did
not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech,
so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. 18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to
those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, “I will
destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the cleverness of
the clever I will
set aside.” 20 Where is the wise man? Where
is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not
come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the
message preached to save those who believe. 22 For indeed
Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to
Gentiles foolishness, 24 but to
those who are the 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. 26 For consider your calling,
brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many
mighty, not many noble; 27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and
God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are
strong, 28
and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen,
the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, 29 so that no man may boast before God. 30 But by His
doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and
righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, 31 so that,
just as it is written, “Let him who
boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Psalm 1:1–6 (NASB95) 1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the
wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates
day and night. 3 He will be like a tree firmly
planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives
away. 5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the
way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.

Living God to teach you and give you His wisdom and understanding. Praise
God!

Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy Spirit of the
Living God to give you the interpretation.
2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights
of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
