1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is a wise one? Where is a scribe (one learned in the Scriptures; the scholar)? Where is a collaborating seeker (a co-investigator; a discusser; a learned sophist; a reasoner) of this age? Does not God prove (or: make) stupid (foolish; nonsensical) the wisdom (cleverness; learned skill) of this ordered arrangement (controlling System; world of culture, religion, economy and government; realm of the secular)?
