For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and wil bring to nothing the vnderstanding of the prudent.

GenevaFor it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent.

γέγραπται γάρ· Ἀπολῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν, καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν ἀθετήσω.

Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisedome of this world?

GenevaWhere is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolishnesse?

αὐτοῖς δὲ τοῖς κλητοῖς, Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησιν, Χριστὸν θεοῦ δύναμιν καὶ θεοῦ σοφίαν.

Because the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men: and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.

GenevaFor the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.

ὅτι τὸ μωρὸν τοῦ θεοῦ σοφώτερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστίν, καὶ τὸ ἀσθενὲς τοῦ θεοῦ ἰσχυρότερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.
