1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God — that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption — all Corinthian identity is 'because of him' (ex autou), not from their own attainment. Christ is our 'wisdom from God' (sophia apo theou), replacing human sophia. The fourfold description—righteousness (dikaiosynē), holiness (hagiasmos), redemption (apolytrōsis)—covers all the dimensions of salvation: legal standing, moral transformation, and final liberation.
