γέγραπται γάρ · Ἀπολῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν , καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν ἀθετήσω . ποῦ σοφός ; ποῦ γραμματεύς ; ποῦ συζητητὴς τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου ; οὐχὶ ἐμώρανεν ὁ θεὸς τὴν σοφίαν τοῦ κόσμου . ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἔγνω ὁ κόσμος διὰ τῆς σοφίας τὸν θεόν , εὐδόκησεν ὁ θεὸς διὰ τῆς μωρίας τοῦ κηρύγματος σῶσαι τοὺς πιστεύοντας . ἐπειδὴ καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι σημεῖα αἰτοῦσιν καὶ Ἕλληνες σοφίαν ζητοῦσιν · ἡμεῖς δὲ κηρύσσομεν Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον , Ἰουδαίοις μὲν σκάνδαλον ἔθνεσιν δὲ μωρίαν , αὐτοῖς δὲ τοῖς κλητοῖς , Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησιν , Χριστὸν θεοῦ δύναμιν καὶ θεοῦ σοφίαν . ὅτι τὸ μωρὸν τοῦ θεοῦ σοφώτερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστίν , καὶ τὸ ἀσθενὲς τοῦ θεοῦ ἰσχυρότερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων . Βλέπετε γὰρ τὴν κλῆσιν ὑμῶν , ἀδελφοί , ὅτι οὐ πολλοὶ σοφοὶ κατὰ σάρκα , οὐ πολλοὶ δυνατοί , οὐ πολλοὶ εὐγενεῖς · ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ θεός , ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τοὺς σοφούς , καὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ θεός , ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τὰ ἰσχυρά , καὶ τὰ ἀγενῆ τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὰ ἐξουθενημένα ἐξελέξατο ὁ θεός , τὰ μὴ ὄντα , ἵνα τὰ ὄντα καταργήσῃ , ὅπως μὴ καυχήσηται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ . ἐξ αὐτοῦ δὲ ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ , ὃς ἐγενήθη σοφία ἡμῖν ἀπὸ θεοῦ , δικαιοσύνη τε καὶ ἁγιασμὸς καὶ ἀπολύτρωσις , ἵνα καθὼς γέγραπται · Ὁ καυχώμενος ἐν κυρίῳ καυχάσθω .
