1 Corinthians 1:26-31 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

²⁶ For ^[a]consider your calling, brothers and sisters, that there were not many wise according to ^[b]the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, ²⁸ and the ^[c]insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, ²⁹ so that no ^[d]human may boast before God. ³⁰ But it is ^[e]due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, ^[f]and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, ³¹ so that, just as it is written: “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
