1 Corinthians 01:26–31

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A. 26a For ye see your calling, brethren,
- B. 26b how that not many wise men after the flesh,
  - C. 26c not many mighty,
    - D. 26d not many noble, are called:
CENTER. 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
- D'. 28 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:
- C'. 27b and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;
- B'. 27a But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
A'. 30–31 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
