21 For inasmuch as in the wisdom of Aloha, the world by wisdom hath not known Aloha, it hath pleased Aloha, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them who believe.
22 For the Jihudoyee demand signs, and the Aramoyee require wisdom;
23 but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness;
24 but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha.
25 For the foolishness of Aloha is wiser than men, and the weakness of Aloha is stronger than men.
26 For you see also your calling, my brethren, that not many among you are wise after the flesh, and not many among you are powerful, and not many among you are of noble birth; [Or, sons of a great family.]
27 but Aloha hath chosen the simple of the world, to shame the wise, and he hath chosen the weak of the world, to shame the mighty,
28 and he hath chosen those of low birth [Or, mean family.] in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are;
29 that no flesh may boast before him.
