1 Corinthians 1:21 - Exposition

In the wisdom of God; that is, as a part of his Divine economy. The world through its wisdom knew not God. These words might be written as an epitaph on the tomb of ancient philosophy, and of modern philosophy and science so far as it assumes an anti-Christian form ( Luke 10:21 ). Human wisdom, when it relies solely on itself, may "feel after God," but hardly find him ( Acts 17:26 , Acts 17:27 ). Through the foolishness of the preaching . This is a mis-translation. It would require keruxeos, not kerugmatos. It should be by the foolishness (as men esteemed it) of the thing preached.
