1 Corinthians 1:24 in context

1 Corinthians 1:21–27

21

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22

24
Selected verse

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;

25

because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26

For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

27

but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
