2 passages

 I couldn't decide which of these 2 passages I should share, so I'm sharing both ;-)

 Corinthians 1

17 Now you have every spiritual gift you need 

as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 He will keep you strong to the end 

so that you will be free from all blame 

on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 

9 God will do this, 

for he is faithful to do what he says, 

and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1

27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish 

in order to shame those who think they are wise. 

And he chose things that are powerless 

to shame those who are powerful. 

28 God chose things despised by the world, 

things counted as nothing at all, 

and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 

29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
