It is good to reflect on the apostle Paul’s words: “God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put the wise men to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put the strong things to shame; and God chose the ignoble things of the world and the things looked down upon, the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are, in order that no flesh might boast in the sight of God. ” ​ — 1 Corinthians 1: 27 - 29.
और परमेश्‍वर ने जगत के नीचों और तुच्छों को, बरन जो हैं भी नहीं उन को भी चुन लिया, कि उन्हें जो हैं, व्यर्थ ठहराए । ताकि कोई प्राणी परमेश्‍वर के साम्हने घमण्ड न करने पाए । ” — १ कुरिन्थियों १: २७ - २९.
