NASB: For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; (NASB ©1995) GWT: Brothers and sisters, consider what you were when God called you to be Christians. Not many of you were wise from a human point of view. You were not in powerful positions or in the upper social classes. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: ASV: For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called : BBE: For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble: DBY: For consider your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born. WEY: For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called. WBS: For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called: WEB: For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; YLT: for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; | |
