1 Corinthians 1:27


← 1 Corinthians 1:26 1 Corinthians 1:27 (KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:28 →
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:
