1 Corinthians 1:23-31

23but we preach 12Christ crucified, 3to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles 4foolishness, 24but to those who are 5the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ 6the power of God and 7the wisdom of God. 25Because the 8foolishness of God is wiser than men, and 9the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26For 10consider your 11calling, brethren, that there were 12not many wise according to 13the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27but 14God has chosen the foolish things of 15the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of 16the world to shame the things which are strong, 28and the base things of 17the world and the despised God has chosen, 18the things that are not, so that He may 19nullify the things that are, 29so that 20no 21man may boast before God. 30But 22by His doing you are in 23Christ Jesus, who became to us 24wisdom from God, 25and 26righteousness and 27sanctification, and 28redemption, 31so that, just as it is written, “29Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
