Bible Question: Please explain this verse. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Nathen2, The things esteemed foolish among people. Here Paul is refering to those who were destitute of learning, social standing, wealth, heritage or pedigree, and who were esteemed as fools, and are despised by the rich and the great. And the comparison is in the preceeding verse: 1Co 1:26(KJV) "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:" As it is today, when one preaches the Gospel, you can see the heads wag, the heads of the wise that are going to miss eternity. terrib |
