1 Corinthians 1:26-31

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁶ For ^[a]consider your ^(A)calling, brethren, that there were ^(B)not many wise according to ^[b]the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but ^(C)God has chosen the foolish things of ^(D)the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of ^(E)the world to shame the things which are strong, ²⁸ and the base things of ^(F)the world and the despised God has chosen, ^(G)the things that are not, so that He may ^(H)nullify the things that are, ²⁹ so that ^(I)no ^[c]man may boast before God. ³⁰ But ^[d]by His doing you are in ^(J)Christ Jesus, who became to us ^(K)wisdom from God, ^[e]and ^(L)righteousness and ^(M)sanctification, and ^(N)redemption, ³¹ so that, just as it is written, “^(O)Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
