## 1 Corinthians 1:28-29 in Context (Verses 25–31 KJV)
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/25) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/26) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, *are called*:
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/27) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, *yea*, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/29) That no flesh should glory in his presence.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/30) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
 
 [31 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/1/31) That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
 
[Romans 16](/kjv/romans/16) [1 Corinthians 2](/kjv/1-corinthians/2)
