Summary: God chose the seemingly foolish, weak, and lowly, overshadowing the worldly wise and strong, to prevent any boasting before Him. In Christ, we find wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, affirming that any boasting should be in the Lord alone.
Consider your own calling, brothers and sisters. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong, and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something, so that no human being might boast before God.
It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written,
Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.
