27. Why? Because this calling of God is not on the lines of anything which the world sets up as important.
28. God would not have anything of the flesh to plume itself on a value of its own. Thus it was that He chose that which was weak, despised, unsupported by birth and tradition, that which in the eyes of the world had no existence at all.
29. This He chose and by its means He dismantles all the world's glory, leaving us faith alone.
