1 Corinthians 1:26-31
Legacy Standard Bible

26 For [a]consider your (A)calling, brothers, 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)abolish the things that are, 29 so that (I)no flesh may boast before God. 30 But by His doing you are in (J)Christ Jesus, who became to us (K)wisdom from God, [c]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 [d]Lord.”

1 Corinthians 1:26-31
Christian Standard Bible

Boasting Only in the Lord

26 Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective,[a] not many powerful,(A) not many of noble birth. 27 Instead, God has chosen(B) 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(C)—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, 29 so that no one[b] may boast in his presence.(D) 30 It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us—our righteousness,(E) sanctification,(F) and redemption(G)— 31 in order that, as it is written:(H) Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.[c](I)
