Footnotes

27a	James 2: 5 (1-9) 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the ^apoor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? D&C 1: 23 (18-20, 23) 23 That the ^afulness of my ^bgospel might be ^cproclaimed by the ^dweak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before ^ekings and ^frulers.
b	GR shame, frustrate. Alma 37: 7 (6-7) 7 And the Lord God doth work by ^ameans to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very ^bsmall means the Lord doth ^cconfound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls. D&C 133: 58 (58-59) 58 To ^aprepare the ^bweak for those things which are coming on the earth, and for the Lord’s errand in the day when the weak shall ^cconfound the ^dwise, and the little one become a ^estrong ^fnation, and two shall put their tens of thousands to ^gflight.
c	Ether 12: 27 (23-29) 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their ^aweakness. I ^bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ^cgrace is sufficient for all men that ^dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ^eweak things become strong unto them. D&C 35: 13. 13 Wherefore, I call upon the ^aweak things of the world, those who are ^bunlearned and despised, to thrash the ^cnations by the power of my ^dSpirit; D&C 124: 1. 1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant Joseph Smith, I am well pleased with your ^aoffering and acknowledgments, which you have made; for unto this end have I raised you up, that I might show forth my ^bwisdom through the ^cweak things of the earth.
