Paul would write in first strengthened. Paul would write in first strengthened. Paul would write in first Corinthians. So it's the wisdom he prays Corinthians. So it's the wisdom he prays Corinthians. So it's the wisdom he prays here, but it's the wisdom of the here, but it's the wisdom of the here, but it's the wisdom of the foolishness in first Corinthians that he foolishness in first Corinthians that he foolishness in first Corinthians that he writes about that is the power to save.

writes about that is the power to save. writes about that is the power to save. that God has used things that confound that God has used things that confound that God has used things that confound us to save us because otherwise we might us to save us because otherwise we might us to save us because otherwise we might be able to explain it away. In the same be able to explain it away. In the same be able to explain it away. In the same way that if you're like, "Okay, we're way that if you're like, "Okay, we're way that if you're like, "Okay, we're having a foot race. We're picking the having a foot race.
