1 Corinthians 1:25

Foolishness of God. The means God has devised for the salvation of man appears to be folly and weakness to those who are blinded by human philosophy. The language is rhetorical. There is, in reality, no foolishness or weakness with God, but His dealings with the human race seem to the unregenerate heart of man to be utterly foolish. Actually the plans of God for the reformation and restoration of man are much better adapted to man’s need than all the schemes and contrivances of the cleverest and most highly trained thinker this world can produce. Weakness of God. That is, that which appears weak to men (see above under “foolishness of God”).
