1 Corinthians 1:27

ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, ἵνα τοὺς σοφοὺς καταισχύνῃ· καὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τὰ ἰσχυρά·
King James Version (KJV)

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

Modern English

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

Greek

ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο Θεός, ἵνα τοὺς σοφοὺς καταισχύνῃ· καὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο Θεός, ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τὰ ἰσχυρά·

alla ta mōra toy kosmoy exelexato o Theos, ina toys sophoys kataischynē· kai ta asthenē toy kosmoy exelexato o Theos, ina kataischynē ta ischyra·
