1 Corinthians 1:27 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1
25 Porque lo loco de Dios es más sabio que los hombres; y lo flaco de Dios es más fuerte que los hombres.
26 Porque mirad, hermanos, vuestra vocación, que no sois muchos sabios según la carne, no muchos poderosos, no muchos nobles;
27 Antes lo necio del mundo escogió Dios, para avergonzar á los sabios; y lo flaco del mundo escogió Dios, para avergonzar lo fuerte;
28 Y lo vil del mundo y lo menospreciado escogió Dios, [y] lo que no es, para deshacer lo que es:
29 Para que ninguna carne se jacte en su presencia.
