1 Corinthians 1:23 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1

21 Porque por no haber el mundo conocido en la sabiduría de Dios á Dios por sabiduría, agradó á Dios salvar á los creyentes por la locura de la predicación.

22 Porque los Judíos piden señales, y los Griegos buscan sabiduría:

23 Mas nosotros predicamos á Cristo crucificado, á los Judíos ciertamente tropezadero, y á los Gentiles locura;

24 Empero á los llamados, así Judíos como Griegos, Cristo potencia de Dios, y sabiduría de Dios.

25 Porque lo loco de Dios es más sabio que los hombres; y lo flaco de Dios es más fuerte que los hombres.
