'Wisdom' in the Bible
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but -- to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;
for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'
where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?
for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,
and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
And I, having come unto you, brethren, came -- not in superiority of discourse or wisdom -- declaring to you the testimony of God,
and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power --
that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless,
but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,
which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,
for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'
for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
