Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called:

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?

Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise.

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men.
