but God chose the foolish things of the world, that He might put to shame the wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that He might put to shame the things that are strong;

But we speak wisdom among the perfect; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought;

not at all meaning, with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; since ye ought, in that event, to go out of the world;

Or know ye not that the saints will judge the world? And, if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of the smallest tribunals?

and those who use the world, as not using it to the full; for the fashion of this world is passing away.
