1:26 - [In Context |Original Greek ]For consider F18 your calling, R55 brethren, that there were not R56 many wise according to the F19 flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
1:27 - [In Context |Original Greek ]but God R57 has chosen the foolish things of the R58 world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the R59 world to shame the things which are strong,
1:28 - [In Context |Original Greek ]and the base things of the R60 world and the despised God has chosen, the R61 things that are not, so that He may nullify R62 the things that are,
1:29 - [In Context |Original Greek ]so that no R63 man F20 may boast before God.
1:30 - [In Context |Original Greek ]But by F21 His doing you are in Christ R64 Jesus, who became to us wisdom R65 from God, and F22 righteousness R66 and sanctification, R67 and redemption, R68
1:31 - [In Context |Original Greek ]so that, just as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."
