1 Corinthians 1:24-26
Contemporary English Version
24 Our message is God's power and wisdom for the Jews and the Greeks that he has chosen. 25 Even when God is foolish, he is wiser than everyone else, and even when God is weak, he is stronger than everyone else.
26 My dear friends, remember what you were when God chose you. The people of this world didn't think that many of you were wise. Only a few of you were in places of power, and not many of you came from important families.

New International Version
24 but to those whom God has called,(A) both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God(B) and the wisdom of God.(C) 25 For the foolishness(D) of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness(E) of God is stronger than human strength.
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.
