1 Corinthians 1:27-31

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ Instead, God has chosen^(A) what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. ²⁸ God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world^(B)—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, ²⁹ so that no one^[a] can boast in His presence.^{(C) 30} But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became God-given wisdom for us—our righteousness,^(D) sanctification,^(E) and redemption,^{(F) 31} in order that, as it is written:^(G) The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.^(H)[b]
