1 Corinthians 1:26-29 The Christian's Weakness. 7 Mar 2024

1Co 1:26 Consider, brothers, how you were called;
not many of you are wise by human standards,
not many influential, not many from noble families.
27 No, God chose those who by human standards are fools
to shame the wise;
he chose those who by human standards are weak
to shame the strong,
28 those who by human standards are common and contemptible
-- indeed those who count for nothing
-- to reduce to nothing all those that do count for something,
29 so that no human being might feel boastful before God.

Saint Paul is reasoning about who are chosen by God. Therefor, not all the above statements are theology or principles.

No Boasting

The true message may be that anyone can be chosen by God.

Prayer

Jesus, please choose afresh many of my countrymen (Dutch.)
