Thanks God

1 Corinthians 1:26 states, "Brothers and sisters, 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." ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷

Here's what this verse means:

- The writer of the letter, Paul, is asking the people of the church in Corinth to remember their status when God called them to salvation.

- He reminds them that by human standards, not many of them were:

Wise (scholars)

Influential (in positions of power)

Of noble birth (considered elite)

- Paul's point is that God chose those who the world considers weak and foolish to shame those who think they are wise. ¹ ⁶
