1 Corinthians 1:25-27

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²⁵ Because the foolish thing^[a] of God is wiser than humans, and the weak thing of God is stronger than humans.

God Chose To Save The Foolish And Weak To Shame Human Self-Effort

²⁶ For look-at^[b] your calling, brothers— that there are not many wise according-to^[c] the flesh, not many powerful, not many well-born^[d]. ²⁷ But God chose^[e] the foolish things of the world in order that He might be putting the wise ones to shame. And God chose the weak things of the world in order that He might be putting the strong things to shame.
