1 Corinthians 1:25-29 Good News Bible (GNB)

25. For what seems to be God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God's weakness is stronger than human strength.

26. Now remember what you were, my brothers and sisters, when God called you. From the human point of view few of you were wise or powerful or of high social standing.

27. God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful.

28. He chose what the world looks down on and despises, and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important.

29. This means that no one can boast in God's presence.
