"Brothers and sisters, look and see whom GOD has called. Few among you can be said to be cultured or wealthy, and few belong to noble families. Yet GOD has chosen what the world considers foolish, to shame the wise; HE has chosen what the world considers weak, to shame the strong. GOD has chosen common and unimportant people, making use of what is nothing, to nullify the things that are, so, that, no mortal may boast before GOD. But, by GOD's grace, you are in CHRIST JESUS, who has become our wisdom from GOD, and who makes us just and holy and free. Scripture says: Let the one who boasts boast of the LORD." - 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
(See whom GOD has called. The Church of Corinth is formed of ordinary people: this is their strength. Everybody has his place and his mission in the Church. Ordinary people and poor communities, often persecuted and calumniated, have a primary role in the evangelization of the world. GOD wants them to evangelize the rich and at times, even the hierarchy.)
