Not Many Wise Men Now Are Called
I Corinthians 1
Dwight Armstrong

Not many wise men now are called, not many noble brethren,
Not many mighty chosen ones, for you see your calling:
Sons of God, you are called, not because of greatness;
Even the wisdom of mankind is to God but foolish.

God chose the foolish of the world; He chose the weak and base things;
He chose the things which are despised, that no flesh should glory.
Sons of God, you are called, not because of greatness;
You who are called and now in Christ shall confound the mighty.

Even the foolishness of God, wiser by far than man is;
Even the weakness of our God, stronger far than man is.
Sons of God, you are called, not because of greatness;
Let them who glory boast in Christ, not in their own greatness.
