Hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolyshenesse? 21 For after that the world through wisedome knewe not God, in the wisedome of God: it pleased God through foolishnesse of preachyng to saue them that beleue. 22 For the Iewes require a signe, & the Grekes seke after wisedome: 23 But we preache Christe crucified, vnto the Iewes a stumblyng blocke, and vnto the Grekes foolyshnesse: 24 But vnto them which are called both of the Iewes and Grekes we preache Christe the power of God, and the wisedome of God. 25 For the foolishnesse of God, is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God, is stronger then men. 26 Brethren, ye see your callyng, howe that not many wise men after the fleshe, not many myghtie, not many noble are called. 27 But God hath chosen the foolyshe thynges of the worlde, to confounde the wise: And God hath chosen the weake thynges of the worlde, to confounde thynges which are myghtie: 28 And vnnoble thynges of the worlde, & thinges which are despysed, hath God chosen, yea and thinges which are not, to bryng to naught thynges that are: 29 That no fleshe shoulde reioyce in his presence.

  • 1 Sam 3:4-9 : 4 And the Lorde called Samuel. And he aunswered, I am here. 5 And he ran vnto Eli, and sayde: Here am I, for thou calledst me. And he said, I called thee not, go againe and sleepe. And he went, and layde hym downe to sleepe. 6 And the Lorde called once againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and sayde: I am here, for thou diddest call me. And he aunswered: I called thee not my sonne, go againe and sleepe. 7 Samuel knewe not yet the Lorde, neither was the worde of the Lorde yet opened vnto hym. 8 And the Lorde went to, and called Samuel the thirde tyme. And he arose and went to Eli, and saide: I am here, for thou hast called me. And Eli perceaued that the Lord had called the childe. 9 Therefore Eli sayde vnto Samuel: Go and sleepe, and yf he call thee, then say: Speake Lorde, for thy seruaunt heareth thee. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. 10 And the Lorde came, and stoode and called as before, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel aunswered: Speake, for thy seruaunt heareth. 11 And the Lorde saide to Samuel: Beholde, I wyll do a thing in Israel, that both the eares of as many as heareth it shall tyngle. 12 In that day, I wyll rayse vp against Eli all thynges whiche I haue spoken concernyng his house: when I begyn, I wyll also make an ende. 13 I haue tolde hym that I wyll iudge his house for euer, for the wickednesse which he knoweth: For whe the people cursed his sonnes for ye same wickednesse he hath not corrected them. 14 And therfore I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wickednesse of Elies house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offeryng for euer. 15 Samuel slept vntyl the mornyng, and opened the doores of the house of the Lorde: and Samuel feared to shewe Eli the vision. 16 Then Eli called Samuel, and sayde: Samuel, my sonne. And he aunswered: Here am I. 17 He saide: What is that the Lord hath saide vnto thee? I pray thee hyde it not from me: God do so to thee, & more also, if thou hyde any thyng from me of all that he sayde vnto thee. 18 And Samuel tolde hym euerywhyt, and hyd nothyng from hym. And he saide: It is the Lord, let hym do what seemeth hym good. 19 And Samuel grewe, and the Lorde was with hym, and left none of his wordes vnperfourmed. 20 And all Israel, from Dan to Beerseba, wyst that faythfull Samuel was the Lordes prophete. 21 And the Lorde appeared againe in Silo: for the Lorde opened him selfe to Samuel in Silo, through the worde of the Lorde.
