perishes from the priest and ocounsel from the elders. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29
26For consider your calling, brothers: pnot many of you were wise according to worldly standards, ▼▼Greek according to the flesh
not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27But rGod chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; sGod chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even tthings that are not, to ubring to nothing things that are, 29so vthat no human being ▼▼Greek no flesh
might boast in the presence of God.
