 24but to those that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
 26For consider your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
