Subject: Boast in the Lord About? |
Bible Note: Searcher Oh most excellent indeed, indeed! I never saw that. I completely did not look for the referrence in the column and this went right by me. I am really impressed with this because of the direct reference before this verse in Jeremiah becuase Paul also uses that! Jeremiah 9:23 Thus says the Lord, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty boast of his might, let not the rich boast of his riches. Paul as you said is using these verses of Jeremiah in his thinking, absolutely - in 1 Corinthians he uses both Jeremiahs 9:23, and 24 for a whole two chapters talking about the folly of wisdom and of boasting in the Lord. I asked someone out here what they thought about this and they came up with something I never noticed - Paul is answering accusations made about his ability to preach as if he is not very good at it and as if he is not wise, as if he is a fool speaking to the wise. So he gives an answer to the Corinthians who have been hearing this arrogant claim made against him. Thank you. blesssings abound, bowler |
