1 CORINTHIANS 1:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?”
Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? — four rhetorical questions press the point home with mounting force. 'This age' (ho aiōn houtos) is ruled by principalities that do not know God (2:8). The 'wisdom of the world' (sophia tou kosmou) is not benign knowledge but ideological blindness that mistakes power for truth and eloquence for wisdom.
