1 Corinthians 1:25-31

1 Corinthians 1:25-31 CSB

because God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength. Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective,  not many powerful,  not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen  what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world   #— #what is viewed as nothing #— #to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one  may boast in his presence.  It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us #— #our righteousness,  sanctification,  and redemption   #— # in order that, as it is written:  Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.
