1 CORINTHIANS 1:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate' — quoted from Isaiah 29:14, this prophecy announces God's judgment on human wisdom (sophia). 'Destroy' (apollymi) is total; 'frustrate' (athetēō) nullifies the smart's cleverness. The Corinthians, proud of their sophists, theologians, and orators, are warned that God has declared war on human wisdom as a path to truth.
