For it is written, I will baffle and render useless and destroy the learning of the learned and the philosophy of the philiosophers and the cleverness of the clever and the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate and nullify [them] and bring [them] to nothing.

Where is the wise man (the philiosopher)? where is the scribe (the scholar)? where is the investigator (the logician, the debater)? of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of the world's wisdom?

For when the world with all its worldly wisdom failed to perceive and recognise and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured through Christ and to be had through Him] to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him.
