23. but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a cause for stumbling, but to the Gentiles foolishness,
24. but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
26. For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to human standards, not many were powerful, not many were well born.
27. But the foolish things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong,
28. and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are,
29. so that all flesh may not boast before God.
30. But from him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31. so that, just as it is written, “The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
