 24but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom;
 25because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
 26For look at your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
 27But the foolish things of the world God chose that he might put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world God chose that he might put to shame the strong things;
