26. For consider your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
27. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
28. and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, and things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
29. so that no flesh should boast before God.
30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
31. that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in the Lord.
