I love this, and I'm leaving this other translation here for people like me who sometimes read a KJ passage 38 times and still go "whut."
"Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important." (NIV)
