in:
"Butª unto themª which² are called,ª bothª Jewsª andª Greeks,ª Christª the powerª of God,ª andª the wisdomª of God.ª" {1Co 1:24} + "Danielª answeredª ° and said,ª ° Blessedª ° beª ° the nameª of¹ Godª for² ever² and ever:ª ª ¹ for¹ wisdomª and mightª are² his:" {Dan 2:20} + "Oª the depthª of the richesª bothª of the wisdomª andª knowledgeª of God!ª howª unsearchableª [are] his² ¹ judgments,ª andª his² ¹ waysª past finding out!ª" {Rom 11:33} + "To the intent thatª nowª unto the¹ principalitiesª andª powersª inª heavenlyª [places] might be knownª ° byª the¹ churchª the¹ manifoldª wisdomª of God,ª" {Eph 3:10}

the wisdom:
Dr. Lightfoot well observes, "that σοφια [Strong's G4678], του [Strong's G5120], Θεου [Strong's G2316], the wisdom of God, is not to be understood of that wisdom which had God for its author, but of that wisdom which had God for its object. There was, among the heathen, σοφια [Strong's G4678], της φυσεως, wisdom about natural things, that is philosophy; and σοφια [Strong's G4678], του [Strong's G5120], Θεου [Strong's G2316], wisdom about God, that is, divinity. But the world, in its divinity, could not, by wisdom, know God." The wisest of the heathen had no just and correct views of the Divine nature; of which the works of Cicero and Lucretius are incontestable proofs.

the world:
"Atª thatª timeª Jesusª answeredª ° and said,ª ° I thankª ° thee,ª O Father,ª Lordª of heavenª andª earth,ª becauseª thou hast hidª ° these thingsª fromª the wiseª andª prudent,ª andª hast revealedª ° themª unto babes.ª" {Mtt 11:25} + "Inª thatª hourª Jesusª rejoiced¹ in² ° spirit,ª andª said,ª ° I thankª ° thee,ª O Father,ª Lordª of heavenª andª earth,ª thatª thou hast hidª ° these thingsª fromª the wiseª andª prudent,ª andª hast revealedª ° themª unto babes:ª even so,ª Father;ª forª soª it seemedª ° goodª in² ° thy² sight.ª ¹" {Lke 10:21} + "Forª the¹ invisible thingsª of himª fromª the creationª of the worldª are clearly seen,ª ° being understoodª ° by the¹ things that are¹ made,² [even]ª ¹ his² ¹ eternalª powerª andª Godhead;ª so² that theyª areª ° without excuse:ª ... Professing¹ themselves² ° to beª ° wise,ª they became fools,ª °" {Rom 1:20-22} + "Andª even asª they did² ° notª likeª ° to retainª ° Godª inª [their] knowledge,ª Godª gave² ° them² overª °¹ toª a reprobateª mind,ª to doª ° those things which are² ° not² convenient;ª °¹" {Rom 1:28}

the foolishness:
"Forª the¹ preachingª of¹ the¹ crossª isª ° to them² that perishª °¹ foolishness;ª butª unto usª which¹ are savedª ° it isª ° the powerª of God.ª" {1Co 1:18}
