^{22 Ref} For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

^{23 Ref} But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

^{24 Ref} But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

^{25 Ref} Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

^{22 Ref} Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

^{23 Ref} also we -- we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

^{24 Ref} and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

^{25 Ref} because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

^{22 Ref} Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge:

^{23 Ref} But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;

^{24 Ref} But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.

^{25 Ref} Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.
