I Corinthians 1:26-29 (12th Saturday after
Pentecost)
BRETHREN, consider your call, not many of you were wise according to
worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;
but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God
chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,
God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that
are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
