1 Corinthians 1:24-29

Whiston(i) 24 But unto them who are called both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 Therefore ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise Men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are chosen]. 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in the presence of God.
