And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things — and the things that are not — to nullify the things that are,
καὶ τὰ ἀγενῆ τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὰ ἐξουθενημένα ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, καὶ τὰ μὴ ὄντα, ἵνα τὰ ὄντα καταργήσῃ·
kai ta agenē toy kosmoy kai ta exoythenēmena exelexato o Theos, kai ta mē onta, ina ta onta katargēsē·
