27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the strong,
28 and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are,
29 that no human being may boast in God's presence.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the good news \'97 not in wisdom of words, that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning.
4 and my speech and my proclamation were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but with spiritual and powerful proof,
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me."
