We are fools for Christ's sake

"A search of an online bible for "clown" reveals nothing, but "fool" bears some fruit.

There is one about halfway down regarding dog vomit that you will appreciate, Tobias.


014:008 The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way,
but the folly of fools is deceit.

026:004 Don't answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also
be like him.
026:005 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in
his own eyes.

026:011 As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who
repeats his folly.

007:025 I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out,
and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know
that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.

009:017 The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry
of him who rules among fools.

010:012 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but a fool
is swallowed by his own lips.

013:003 Woe to the foolish prophets,
who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

001:027 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put
to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world,
that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
001:028 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things
that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might
bring to nothing the things that are.

003:018 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is
wise among you in this world, let him become a fool,
that he may become wise.
003:019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

"We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised"


"Fool for Christ" is apparently an expression meaning to give up everything for religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foolishness_for_Christ
