14. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the

15. world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God

16. chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence."

17. Romans 4:18-20 "Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith,

18. he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:

19. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;”

20. Hebrews 11:13-14 "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them,

21. and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

22. James 2:18-22 "Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. [19 ] Thou believest that there is

23. one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. [20 ] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? [21 ] Was not Abraham our father

24. justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? [22 ] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?"
