NASB
"and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,"
— 1 Corinthians 1:28, NASB
“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 consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,
and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,
so that no man may boast before God.
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
so that, just as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."
