1 Corinthians 1:23-29

CLV(i) 23 yet we are heralding Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a snare, yet to the nations stupidity, 24 yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God, 25 for the stupidity of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." 26 For you are observing your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh; not many powerful, not many noble, 27 but the stupidity of the world God chooses, that He may be disgracing the wise, and the weakness of the world God chooses, that He may be disgracing the strong, 28 and the ignoble and the contemptible things of the world God chooses, and that which is not, that He may be discarding that which is, 29 so that no flesh at all should be boasting in God's sight.
