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. 25For the 8foolishness of God is wiser than mankind, and 9the weakness of God is stronger than mankind.

26For 10consider your 11calling, brothers and sisters, 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 17insignificant things of 18the world and the despised God has chosen, 19the things that are not, so that He may 20nullify the things that are, 29so that 21no 22human may boast before God. 30But it is 23due to Him that you are in 24Christ Jesus, who became to us 25wisdom from God, 26and 27righteousness and 28sanctification, and 29redemption, 31so that, just as it is written: “30Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
