The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of 1 Corinthians 1. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

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:

29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
