For ye see by your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

but God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;

that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit of God; that we might know the things that are graciously bestowed upon us by God:

Ye are now full, ye are now rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I wish ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

And are ye puffed up, and have not rather grieved? that he who hath committed this fact might be expelled from among you?

or doth He say this indeed for our sakes? For it is certainly written for our sakes, that he, who ploweth, might plow in hope; and that he, who thresheth in hope, should partake of his hope.

But I have availed myself of none of these things. Nor have I written these things, that it might be so done as to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any one should make this my glorying void.

For though I am free from all, yet I have made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; that is, to those, who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law:

and to those without the law as without the law, (not being without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain those who are without the law.

To the weak I became as the weak, that I might gain the weak: I became all things to all men, that I might by every means save some.

Now these things were examples for us, that we might not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

that there might be no schism in the body; but that all the members might have the same care one for another.
