The fourth excerpt represents the element of Earth. It speaks of physical influences and the impact of the unseen on the visible world, and is drawn from King James Bible: of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
CO1 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew
not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them
that believe.
CO1 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
CO1 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
CO1 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ
the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
CO1 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the
weakness of God is stronger than men.
