²⁶ For ^[a]consider your ^(A)calling, brothers, that there were ^(B)not many wise according to ^[b]the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. ²⁷ But ^(C)God has chosen the foolish things of ^(D)the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of ^(E)the world to shame the things which are strong, ²⁸ and the base things of ^(F)the world and the despised God has chosen, ^(G)the things that are not, so that He may ^(H)abolish the things that are, ²⁹ so that ^(I)no flesh may boast before God. ³⁰ But by His doing you are in ^(J)Christ Jesus, who became to us ^(K)wisdom from God, ^[c]and ^(L)righteousness and ^(M)sanctification, and ^(N)redemption, ³¹ so that, just as it is written, “^(O)Let him who boasts, boast in the ^[d]Lord.”
