"1Co 1:26  For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.
1Co 1:27  But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.
1Co 1:28  And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:
1Co 1:29  That no flesh should glory in his sight.
1Co 1:30  But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption:
1Co 1:31  That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 1:26-31

"Psa 33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
Psa 33:13  The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.
Psa 33:18  Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.
Psa 33:19  To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
Psa 33:20  Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
Psa 33:21  For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted."
Psalm 33:12-13,18-19,20-21

"Mat 25:14  For even as a man going into a far country called his servants and delivered to them his goods;
Mat 25:15  And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
Mat 25:16  And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five.
Mat 25:17  And in like manner he that had received the two gained other two.
Mat 25:18  But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord's money.
Mat 25:19  But after a long time the lord of those servants came and reckoned with them.
Mat 25:20  And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents. Behold I have gained other five over and above.
Mat 25:21  His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Mat 25:22  And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me. Behold I have gained other two.
Mat 25:23  His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Mat 25:24  But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
Mat 25:25  And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold here thou hast that which is thine.
Mat 25:26  And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not strewed.
Mat 25:27  Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
Mat 25:28  Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it him that hath ten talents.
Mat 25:29  For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
Mat 25:30  And the unprofitable servant, cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Matthew 25:14-30
