1 Corinthians 1:28
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,
In context
26 Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28 He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,
29 so that no one may boast in His presence.
30 It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
