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. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will confound the understanding of those who have understanding.” Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 1 Corinthians 1:18-21, Adapted

No man desires to be made a fool of, except in the cause of Christ, and He upon the cross.
