26 For consider your calling, brethren, that {there are} not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.

27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;

28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, {and} things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;

29 so that no flesh should boast before God.
