21 For since in the wisdom of Elohim the cosmos knew not Elohim through wisdom, Elohim well-approved that through the foolishness of preaching to save them who trust.
22 Since the Yah Hudiym ask a sign and the Hellenes seek after wisdom:
23 we also - we preach Messiah staked - to the Yah Hudiym, indeed a scandal and to the Hellenes foolishness;
24 and to the called - both Yah Hudiym and Hellenes, Messiah - the dynamis of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim.
25 Because the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than humanity; and the frailty of Elohim mightier than humanity.
26 For you see your calling brothers, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many able, not many well-birthed:
27 But Elohim selects the foolish of the cosmos to shame the wise; and Elohim selects the frailties of the cosmos to shame the mighty;
28 and the ignoble of the cosmos and the belittled Elohim selects; yes, and those not being to inactivate those being:
29 so that no flesh boasts in his sight.
