1 Corinthians 1:20

1 Corinthians 1:20. Where is the wise? in general; but particularly, where is the scribe? to whom the Jew looks up for wisdom; where is the disputer of this world? to whom the Greek defers. hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? [1]

[1] The scholar will observe that two Greek words are here translated by the same word ‘world;' the former expressing the world in respect of its reigning character, the latter the sphere itself in which that character is displayed.
