27 But God chose the foolish things of the world in order that He might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world in order that He might humiliate the mighty[.]
28 And the lowly things of the world, and the despised things God has chosen, and the things which are not, in order that He might nullify the things which are,
29 so that no man may boast before God.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
4 And my message and my preaching [were] not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [peoples] to Myself."
