1 Corinthians 1:20-21
(20) Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
(21) For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1:20-21. It was the same with all human wisdom, whether of the esteemed Jewish scholar or Greek philosopher. The brilliance of man cannot appreciate the plan of God (Isa. 55:8-9). It is not self-confident erudition but self-effacing faith that allows one to enter the narrow way.
