1 Corintios 3:19-20 RVA

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:18-20

Worldly wisdom. "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." The "wisdom" here referred to is what Paul calls elsewhere "fleshly wisdom," the "wisdom of the world," or of the age. It is the same wisdom as he refers to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:18-20

The way to wisdom. "Wisdom" is one of the key words of these early chapters of the Epistle. Here again the contrast between true and false wisdom appears in the form of a warning against self conceit. "Let no man deceive himself." I. TO BE WISE WE MUST FIRST BECOME FOOLS . The wisdom of this world has its uses within its own sphere, but it is no help to the understanding of the things of God. It is a hindrance which must be removed ere we cart learn the Divine wisdom.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:19

The wisdom of this world. Here the word for "world" is kosmos, in the last verse it was alert. Kosmos is the world regarded objectively; aion the world regarded in its moral and intellectual aspect. He that taketh the wise in their craftiness . This is one of the few references to the Book of Job in the New Testament. It comes from the speech of Eliphaz in Job 5:13 , but St. Paul substitutes the words "clutching" ( drassomenos ) and "craftiness" ( panourgia ) for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:20

The Lord knoweth, etc. A quotation from Psalms 94:11 . St. Paul substitutes "the wise" for the "men" of the original, because the psalmist is referring to perverse despisers of God. Dialogismoi is rather "reasonings" than "thoughts." It is used in a disparaging sense, as in Romans 1:21 ; Ephesians 4:17 . read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:19

For the wisdom of this world - That which is esteemed to be wisdom by the people of this world on the subject of religion. It does not mean that true wisdom is foolishness with him. It does not mean that science, and prudence, and law - that the knowledge of his works - that astronomy, and medicine, and chemistry, are regarded by him as folly, and as unworthy the attention of people. God is the friend of truth on all subjects; and he requires us to become acquainted with his works, and commends... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:20

And again, - Psalms 94:11.The Lord knoweth - God searches the heart. The particular thing which it is here said that he knows, is, that the thoughts of man are vain. They have this quality; and this is that which the psalmist here says that God sees. The affirmation is not one respecting the omniscience of God, but with respect to what God sees of the nature of the thoughts of the wise.The thoughts of the wise - Their plans, purposes, designs.That they are vain - That they lack real wisdom;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 3:18-20

1 Corinthians 3:18-20. Let no man deceive himself Neither teacher, by propagating errors through pride of his own understanding; nor hearers, by a factious preferring of one above another for his gifts. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world Be wise with respect to the things of this world only, and on that account be puffed up with pride; let him become a fool Such as the world accounts so; let him renounce his carnal wisdom, and submit to the doctrine of the gospel,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:10-23

Christian activity tested (3:10-23)The Corinthians are likened also to a building. Paul laid the foundation, and now other Christians, in particular the teachers, have the responsibility to build on that foundation (10). There is only one foundation, Jesus Christ, but the structure may be built in all sorts of ways. People may build something of lasting worth through using valuable materials (gold, silver and precious stones), or they may build something of no lasting worth through using cheap... read more
