scriptures paraphrased to post
🕊️a reading & study 🕊️
26 - Consider this, how not many of us were wise according to worldly standards. Not many were powerful. Not many were of noble birth.
27 God chose what is foolish in the world’s opinion, to shame the {so called} wise! God chose what is weak in the world’s opinion, to shame the strong! {Ever wanting to dominate, control?} 28 God chose what is humble. He chose what is looked down upon in the world. And has even chosen things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are. [“..the (things) not being that the (things) being might be annulled”] {how things/life is now, is not how it shall be.. he chose perfection. Logical, as he is Life, and “is perfect”. And, he chose ‘herd’ immunity over ant farm. ..Instead of proud.. proud says come follow me? He chooses humility.}
29 So none may boast before God. 30 And it’s because of him, that you are in Christ Jesus, in he who is our wisdom from God. And righteousness and sanctification [hagiasmos - consecration, process of advancing in purity, from hagios - sacred and pure, free of contamination] and redemption/rescue (from death and its cause, “the wage/result of sin — greek word hamartia - missing the mark — is death” Ro.6:23). {Imperfection is entropy, an unavoidable, slow gehenna, yet all important contrast.}
31 As it’s written, “Let any one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” {Besides, it’s HE who has each one’s highest blueprint/spiritual dna.}
