26 You see for the calling of you, brethren, that not many wise ones according to flesh, not many strong ones, not many well-born;

27 but the foolish things of the world chose the God, that the wise ones he may shame; and the weak things of the world chose the God, that he may shame the powerful ones;

28 and the low-born of the world and the things having been despised chose the God, and the things not existing, that the things existing he may bring to nothing;
