1 Corinthians 1:28-31

New International Version

²⁸ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not^(A)—to nullify the things that are, ²⁹ so that no one may boast before him.^{(B) 30} It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus,^(C) who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,^(D) holiness^(E) and redemption.^{(F) 31} Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”^[a](G)
