1 Corinthians 1:22-25

²²While Jews clamor for miraculous demonstrations and Greeks go in for philosophical wisdom,

²³we go right on proclaiming Christ, the Crucified. Jews treat this like an anti-miracle--and Greeks pass it off as absurd.n

²⁴But to us who are personally called by God himself--both Jews and Greeks--Christ is God''s ultimate miracle and wisdom all wrapped up in one.o

²⁵Human wisdom is so tinny, so impotent, next to the seeming absurdity of God. Human strength can''t begin to compete with God''s "weakness."p
