For consider your calling, brothers and sisters, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

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,

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

and the 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,

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

so that no human may boast before God.

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

so that, just as it is written: "LET THE ONE WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
