1 Corinthians 1: 26 - 31
|
| 26
|
For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;
|
| 27
|
but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,
|
| 28
|
God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
|
| 29
|
so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
|
| 30
|
He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption;
|
| 31
|
therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord." ------------------------------------------------------------------------
