New Testament

1 Corinthians 1:24-31 Modern English Version (MEV)

24. But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ as the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26. For observe your calling, brothers. Among you, not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty men, and not many noble men were called.

27. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. God has chosen the weak things ofthe world to confound the things which are mighty.

28. And God has chosen the base things of the world and things which are despised. Yes, and He chose things which did not exist to bring to nothing things that do,

29. so that no flesh should boast in His presence.

30. But because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

31. Therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
