Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:
