{The foolishness of God} (	o m(9372)on tou theou). Abstract
neuter singular with the article, the foolish act of God (the
Cross as regarded by the world). {Wiser than men} (soph(9374)eron
t(936e) anthr(9370)(936e)). Condensed comparison, wiser than the wisdom of
men. Common Greek idiom ( Mt 5:20  Joh 5:36 ) and quite forcible,
brushes all men aside. {The weakness of God} (	o asthenes tou
theou). Same idiom here, {the weak act of God}, as men think,
{is stronger} (ischuroteron). The Cross seemed God's defeat. It
is conquering the world and is the mightiest force on earth.
