1 Corinthians 1:18-21, 25 New International Version (NIV) 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21 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.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
