in: 1Co 1:24, Dan 2:20, Rom 11:33, Eph 3:10 the wisdom: Dr. Lightfoot well observes, "that σοφια [Strong's G4678], του [Strong's G5120], Θεου [Strong's G2316], the wisdom of God, is not to be understood of that wisdom which had God for its author, but of that wisdom which had God for its object. There was, among the heathen, σοφια [Strong's G4678], της φυσεως, wisdom about natural things, that is philosophy; and σοφια [Strong's G4678], του [Strong's G5120], Θεου [Strong's G2316], wisdom about God, that is, divinity. But the world, in its divinity, could not, by wisdom, know God." The wisest of the heathen had no just and correct views of the Divine nature; of which the works of Cicero and Lucretius are incontestable proofs. the world: Mat 11:25, Luk 10:21, Rom 1:20-22, Rom 1:28 the foolishness: 1Co 1:18 Reciprocal: Jos 6:3 - ye shall 1Ki 10:1 - concerning 2Ki 5:11 - Behold 2Ki 5:13 - how much rather Psa 94:11 - General Pro 23:9 - he Isa 31:2 - he also Jer 4:22 - they have Zec 9:13 - against Luk 7:23 - General Joh 1:10 - knew Joh 7:49 - General Joh 17:25 - the world Act 17:18 - philosophers Act 17:23 - To 1Co 15:2 - ye are 2Co 10:10 - and his 2Co 11:1 - in 2Co 11:6 - rude Gal 4:8 - when Eph 1:5 - according Eph 4:18 - the understanding 1Th 4:5 - know 1Pe 1:25 - this
