1 Corinthians 1:18, 23-25

The teaching about the cross is foolishness to those who are being lost, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

But we preach a crucified Christ. This causes the Jews to stumble and is foolishness to non-Jews. But Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God to those people God has called—Jews and Greeks. Even the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
