1 Corinthians 1:20
_ _ Where — nowhere; for God “brings them to naught” (1 Corinthians 1:19).
_ _ the wise — generally.
_ _ the scribe — Jewish [Alford].
_ _ the disputer — Greek [Alford]. Compare the Jew and Greek of this world contrasted with the godly wise, 1 Corinthians 1:22, 1 Corinthians 1:23. Vitringa thinks the reference is to the Jewish discourses in the synagogue, daraschoth, from a Hebrew root “to dispute.” Compare “questions,” Acts 26:3; Titus 3:9. If so, “wise” refers to Greek wisdom (compare 1 Corinthians 1:22). Paul applies Isaiah 33:18 here in a higher sense; there the primary reference was to temporal deliverance, here to external; 1 Corinthians 1:22, which is in threefold opposition to 1 Corinthians 1:18 there, sanctions this higher application; the Lord in the threefold character being the sole ground of glorying to His people.
_ _ of this world ... of this world — rather, “dispensation (or age) ... world”; the Greek words are distinct. The former is here this age or worldly order of things in a moral point of view, as opposed to the Christian dispensation or order of things. The latter is the world viewed externally and cosmically.
_ _ made foolish — shown the world’s philosophy to be folly, because it lacks faith in Christ crucified [Chrysostom]. Has treated it as folly, and not used its help in converting and saving men (1 Corinthians 1:26, 1 Corinthians 1:27) [Estius]. |
1 Corinthians 1:20
Where is the wise? &c. — The deliverance of Judea from Sennacherib is what Isaiah refers to in these words; in a bold and beautiful allusion to which, the apostle in the clause that follows triumphs over all the opposition of human wisdom to the victorious gospel of Christ. What could the wise men of the gentiles do against this? or the Jewish scribes? or the disputers of this world? — Those among both, who, proud of their acuteness, were fond of controversy, and thought they could confute all opponents. Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world — That is, shown it to be very foolishness. Isaiah 33:18 |
1 Corinthians 1:20
Where [is] the wise? where [is] the (o) scribe? where [is] the (p) disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
(o) Where are you, O you learned fellow, and you that spend your days in turning your books?
(p) You that spend all your time in seeking out the secret things of this world, and in expounding all hard questions: and thus he triumphs against all the men of this world, for there was not one of them that could so much as dream of this secret and hidden mystery. |

2 Samuel 17:23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled [his] ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
