scriptures paraphrased to post
🕊️a reading & study 🕊️
19 - Is it not written, “I will destroy the wisdom [sophia] of the wise? I will frustrate the intelligence [syneton - (the) mental putting together] of the intelligent.” 20 Where are the wise? Where the scribes? Where the debaters of the age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of the world?! {Can ye not see it?} 21 Since God knew the world would not know him through human insight, God was pleased through the foolishness [mória - absurdity, foolishness, from moros, folly] of the good news proclamation to save those believing. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified {strong enough image to appease the human conscience, every conscience} foolishness to the nations, and a stumbling block to Jews (Hebrews) 24 but to those who are called (out) whether Jew or Greek, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God. {Christ works! He is “the seed” God plants in us.. and waters and feeds it to maturity. Consistently yielding to him - a ‘whole burnt sacrifice’ can’t hurt.} 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man [anthropos] and the weakness [asthenés - frailty, weakness] of God is stronger than man. {Waay so!! ..A vast universe perfectly balanced.. “the earth hanging upon nothing” Job 26:7.}
