“And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”
Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. — The contradiction: whoever thinks he knows (dokei gignōskein) has not yet known as it is necessary to know (kathōs opheileí). The paradox cuts deeply: the Corinthians' confidence in their gnōsis reveals its inadequacy. True knowledge incorporates humility, community accountability, and love. Isolated intellectual mastery is exposed as false knowledge.
