2. For consider your calling, brothers: not many of
you were wise according to worldly standards,
not many were powerful, not many were of
noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the
world to shame the wise; God chose what is
weak in the world to shame the strong; God
chose what is low and despised in the world,
even things that are not, to bring to nothing
things that are, so that no human being might
boast in the presence of God.
3. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who
became to us wisdom from God, righteousness
and sancBficaBon and redempBon, so that, as it
is wriDen, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the
Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:26-‐31 (ESV)
4. The Nobodies of the Church
“…not many of you were wise according to
worldly standards, not many were powerful, not
many were of noble birth.”
5. For the word of the cross is folly to those who
are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is
the power of God. For it is wriDen,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will
thwart.”
1 Cor. 1:18-‐19
