27 But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.
28 And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his sight.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.
