New Testament · VERSE 22

1 Corinthians 1:22

King James Version

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

1 Corinthians 1:22 in context

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
