23but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;

24but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:

27but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

28and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:

29that no flesh should glory before God.
