1 Corinthians 1:24-29
New Living Translation
24 But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles,[a] Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy[b] when God called you. 27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 28 God chose things despised by the world,[c] things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.(F) Not many of you were wise(G) by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose(H) the foolish(I) things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not(J)—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him.(K)

belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
