1 Corinthians 1:25-27
Worldwide English (New Testament)
25 When God seems foolish, he is more wise than men. When God seems weak, he is stronger than men.
26 My brothers, remember what you were when God chose you. Not many of you were wise by the way people look at it. Not many of you had power. Not many of you came from a family with a big name.
27 But God chose things that look foolish to the people of the world. He has used those foolish things to put the wise people to shame. God chose the weak things to put to shame the strong people.

1 Corinthians 1:25-27
New International Version
25 For the foolishness(A) of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness(B) of God is stronger than human strength.
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.(C) Not many of you were wise(D) by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose(E) the foolish(F) things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
