King James Version
"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: "
— 1 Corinthians 1:26, King James Version
“For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: ”
“For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;”
“Think about the circumstances of your call, brothers and sisters. Not many were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position.”
“For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.”
“For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:”
“For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: ”
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
