God Chooses the Weak and Lowly
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
26
Just look at yourselves, brothers — look at those whom God has called! Not many of you are wise by the world’s standards, not many wield power or boast noble birth.
27
But God chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise; God chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the strong;
28
and God chose what the world looks down on as common or regards as nothing in order to bring to nothing what the world considers important;
29
so that no one should boast before God.
30
It is his doing that you are united with the Messiah Yeshua. He has become wisdom for us from God, and righteousness and holiness and redemption as well!
31
Therefore — as the Tanakh says — “Let anyone who wants to boast, boast about Adonai.”
