1 Corinthians 1:27 Context
25Because the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men: and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men. 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise: and God hath chosen the weake things of the world, to confound the things which are mighty: 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are, 29That no flesh should glory in his presence.
