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:"
— 1 Corinthians 1:28, King James Version
“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 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.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
