1 Corinthians 1:24
Compare all
22 For aJews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;  
23 but we preach Christ crucified, ato the Jews a stumbling block and to the2 Greeks bfoolishness,  
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ athe power of God and bthe wisdom of God.  
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Glory Only in the Lord

26 For1 you see your calling, brethren, athat not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many2 noble, are called.  
27 But aGod 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 things which are mighty;  
28 and the1 base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,  
29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and arighteousness and sanctification and redemption—

Those, both of Jews and Greeks, who were by the preaching of the Gospel called or invited to the marriage feast, and have accordingly believed in Christ Jesus; they Proverbs this doctrine to be divinely powerful, to enlighten and convert the soul, and to be a proof of God' s infinite wisdom, which has found out such an effectual way to glorify both his justice and mercy, and save, to the uttermost, all that come to him through Christ Jesus. The called, or invited, , is a title of genuine Christians, and is frequently used in the New Testament. ̔ , saints, is used in the same sense.
