1 CORINTHIANS 1:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.”
But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God — the 'but' (de) is Paul's reversal: those called by God (klētoi) see differently. To them, Christ crucified is not stumbling but power (dynamis) and not folly but wisdom (sophia). The genitive 'of God' is decisive: this is not human power or cleverness but God's own.
