For you behold his calling of you, brothers, that not many wise in a fleshly way were called, not many powerful, not many of noble birth; but 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. ” ​ — 1 Corinthians 1: 22 - 27; compare Isaiah 55: 8, 9.
क्योंकि परमेश्‍वर की मूर्खता मनुष्यों के ज्ञान से ज्ञानवान है; और परमेश्‍वर की निर्बलता मनुष्यों के बल से बहुत बलवान है ।
