American King James Version
"And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are: "
— 1 Corinthians 1:28, American King James Version
“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:”
“and 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: ”
“and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:”
“God chose what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,”
“And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:”
“And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:”
“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:”
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For you see your calling, brothers, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has 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, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
