Where is the wise man?

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. (1Co 1:20-21)

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the things of this world that are common and looked down on. He chose what is not considered to be important to do away with what is considered to be important. So that no one may boast before Him. (1Co 1:27-29) Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. (1Co 3:18) Humble yourself, lest Christ becomes a stumbling block to you. Hear Him!
