 23but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling-block, and to Gentiles foolishness,
 24but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom;
 25because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Cor. 1:22‑25)
