²⁷ but the foolish things of the world chose the God, that the wise ones he may shame; and the weak things of the world chose the God, that he may shame the powerful ones;

²⁸ and the low–born of the world and the things having been despised chose the God, and the things not existing, that the things existing he may bring to nothing;

²⁹ so that not may boast all flesh in presence of the God.

Not for sent me Anointed to dip, but to announce glad tidings; not in wisdom of speech, so that not may be of no effect the cross of the Anointed.

and the speech of me and the preaching of me not in persuasive wisdom of words, but in a display of spirit and of power;

And if I should be lifted up from the earth, all will draw to myself.
