1 Corinthians 1:22-31 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

22. Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

23. also we--we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

24. and to those called--both Jews and Greeks--Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

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

26. for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

27. but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

28. and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless--

29. that no flesh may glory before Him;

30. and of Him ye--ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

31. that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying--in the Lord let him glory.'
