26For 3considerG991 your 4callingG2821, brothersG80 and sisters, that there were 5not manyG4183 wiseG4680 accordingG2596 to 6the fleshG4561, not manyG4183 mightyG1415, not manyG4183 nobleG2104; 27but 7GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the foolishG3474 thingsG3474 of 8the worldG2889 to shameG2617 the wiseG4680, and GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the weakG772 thingsG772 of 9the worldG2889 to shameG2617 the thingsG2478 which are strongG2478, 28and the 10insignificantG36 thingsG36 of 11the worldG2889 and the despisedG1848 GodG2316 has chosenG1586, 12the things that are not, soG2443 thatG2443 He may 13nullifyG2673 the things that are, 29soG3704 thatG3704 14noG3361G3956 15humanG4561 may boastG2744 beforeG1799 GodG2316. 30But it is 16dueG1537 toG1537 Him that you are in 17ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 becameG1096 to us 18wisdomG4678 from GodG2316, 19and 20righteousnessG1343 and 21sanctificationG38, and 22redemptionG629, 31soG2443 thatG2443, justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125: “23Let the one who boastsG2744, boastG2744 in the LordG2962.”
