For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
