"to those whom God has called,.... Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
..... think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
.... But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,
...... so that no one may boast before him.
........It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
"he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."-Philippians 1:6
