1 Corinthians 1:25

1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, ¹  and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. ² 

1 Corinthians 2:6

Wisdom from God

2:6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, ³  but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

1 Corinthians 13:1

The Way of Love

13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

[1:25]  ¹ tn Grk “than men.”

[1:25]  ² tn Grk “than men.”

[2:6]  ³ tn In extrabiblical literature this word was applied to an initiate of a mystery religion (BDAG 995 s.v. τέλειος 3, gives numerous examples and states this was a technical term of the mystery religions). It could here refer to those who believed Paul’s message, the mystery of God (v. 1), and so be translated as “those who believe God’s message.”
