1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

26 Brothers, consider your calling: not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.

27 Instead, God has chosen the world's foolish things to shame the wise, and God has chosen the world's weak things to shame the strong.

28 God has chosen the world's insignificant and despised things-the things viewed as nothing-so He might bring to nothing the things that are viewed as something,

29 so that no one can boast in His presence.

30 But from Him you are in Christ Jesus, who for us became wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,

31 in order that, as it is written: The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.

New International Version NIV

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.

27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,

29 so that no one may boast before him.

30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
