23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 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; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
