ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧:૨૭
પણ ઈશ્વરે જ્ઞાનીઓને શરમાવવા સારુ દુનિયાના મૂર્ખોને અને શક્તિમાનોને શરમાવવા સારુ દુનિયાના નિર્બળોને પસંદ કર્યા છે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १:२७
परन्तु परमेश्वर ने जगत के मूर्खों को चुन लिया है, कि ज्ञानियों को लज्जित करे; और परमेश्वर ने जगत के निर्बलों को चुन लिया है, कि बलवानों को लज्जित करे।

In context

25because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

27but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

28God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

29that no flesh should boast before God.
