2 | "God uses the weak to confound the wise" | 1 Corinthians | philemcc | 76472 | ||
Yes,, 1 cor 1:26 Brothers, consider your calling: not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. 27 Instead, God has chosen the world's foolish things to shame the wise, and God has chosen the world's weak things to shame the strong. 28 God has chosen the world's insignificant and despised things--the things viewed as nothing--so He might bring to nothing the things that are viewed as something, 29 so that no one can boast in His presence.

3 | "God uses the weak to confound the wise" | 1 Corinthians | Ray | 76495 | ||
Hi philemcc, I think we should continue your passage so that Mother Superior does not think that the weak are accomplishing anything. We boast in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:19, "For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdome of the wise, And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside. 20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God/ made foolish the wisdom of the world?" 1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that it was all His doing that we are in Christ Jesus and that the power in us is wisdom from God/. Even a spirit of wisdom? The slashes are mine for comparison. 1 Corinthians 1:24, "but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God/ is stronger than men." From the heart, Ray |
