1 Corinthians 1:27-31
English Standard Version
27 But (A)God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; (B)God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even (C)things that are not, to (D)bring to nothing things that are, 29 so (E)that no human being[a] might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him[b] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us (F)wisdom from God, (G)righteousness and (H)sanctification and (I)redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, (J)“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
