  SPEAKER_00: My brothers and sisters, some members of Chloe's family told me that there are arguments among you.

  SPEAKER_00: This is what I mean.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: One of you says I follow Paul, and someone else says I follow Apollos.

  SPEAKER_00: Christ did not give me the work of baptizing people.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: He gave me the work of telling the good news, but he sent me to tell the good news without using clever speech, which would take away the power that is in the cross of Christ God's power and wisdom in Christ Jesus The teaching about the cross seems foolish to those who are lost, but to us who are being saved in it, it is the power of God, as the scriptures say, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will confuse the understanding of the intelligent Isaiah twenty nine fourteen.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: So what does this say about the philosopher, the law expert or anyone in this world who is skilled in making clever arguments?
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: God has made the wisdom of the world look foolish.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is what God in his wisdom decided.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: Since the world did not find him through his own wisdom, he used the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe it.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: The Jews ask for miraculous signs and the Greeks want wisdom, but this is the message we will tell everyone.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: Christ was killed on a cross.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: This message is a problem for Jews and to other people it's nonsense.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: But Christ is God's power and wisdom to the people God has chosen, both Jews and Greeks.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Even the foolishness of God is wiser than the human wisdom.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: Even the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: Brothers and sisters, God chose you to be his.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Think about that.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Not many of you were wise in the way the world judges wisdom.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Not many of you had great influence, and not many of you came from important families, but God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong, and God chose what the world thinks is not important, and what the world hates and thinks is nothing.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: He chose these to destroy what the world thinks is important.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: God did this so that no one can stand before him and boast about anything.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: It is God who has made you part of Christ Jesus, and Christ has become for us wisdom from God.
