Thank-you to my friend Glenn who passed along the below texts with the title/comment, "Not admired by the world's eyes? . . . This is a compilation of Scriptures verses which helps remind me, that many things which do not receive the world's admiration, are of great value in the Kingdom of God!"

Isaiah 53:2-3

   he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 

John 1
¹⁰ He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. ¹¹ He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. ¹² Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

I John 4:5
⁵ They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.

John 14:16-17
¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
