Context — The Wisdom of God vs. Human Wisdomgenerated
1 Corinthians 1:19 emphasizes that God's wisdom stands in stark contrast to human wisdom. Paul cites a prophetic declaration to illustrate that God will dismantle the wisdom of the wise and frustrate the intelligence of the intelligent. This serves as a reminder that what is esteemed in the world may be foolishness in the eyes of God, as he continues to elaborate in the following verses.

The Key Word — γέγραπται, graphōgenerated
The verb γράφω (graphō) means 'to write' and is in the perfect passive indicative form. This indicates that the action of writing has been completed in the past with ongoing relevance. It is often used in the New Testament to refer to the recording of Scripture, highlighting its authority and permanence.
In this context, it underscores that the statement being quoted is not merely a human opinion but a divinely inspired declaration that carries weight and significance.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The primary translation under consideration is the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the phrase it is written. This is echoed in the KJV and ASV, maintaining the same wording.
However, the YLT and WEB provide slightly different renderings, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the writing with it hath been written and it is written, respectively. The translations agree on the essential meaning but vary slightly in phrasing.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is introduced by the verb γέγραπται, it is written, followed by a subordinate clause that presents the content of the quotation. The structure highlights the authority of the written word as it sets up the contrast between divine and human wisdom.
The verse includes two additional clauses that specify what God will do: ἀπολῶ (I will destroy) and ἀθετήσω (I will frustrate), each governing their respective objects, which are the wisdom and intelligence of the wise and intelligent.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
γράφω appears frequently in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew verb כָּתַב (H3789), meaning 'to write'. This connection emphasizes the continuity of God's message from the Old Testament to the New.
The phrase quoted in this verse reflects a broader theme found in the Septuagint, where God often asserts His sovereignty over human wisdom, as seen in passages like Ἰσαΐας (Isaiah) 29:14.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Corinthians 1:19 states that God has declared His intention to dismantle human wisdom. Paul quotes Scripture to show that what people consider wise is often foolishness to God. This verse reminds us that true understanding comes from God, not from human reasoning.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that human wisdom, which often relies on pride and self-sufficiency, will ultimately be shown to be inadequate and will be overturned by God's greater wisdom.
The message of the cross is seen as foolishness by the world, yet it is the very power of God for salvation, highlighting the contrast between divine wisdom and human understanding.
Paul quotes Scripture to establish authority for his argument and to show that God's plan has always been to confound human wisdom through His own divine wisdom.
We are reminded to rely on God's wisdom rather than our own understanding, recognizing that true insight comes from Him.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways have I relied on my own wisdom instead of seeking God's guidance?
- How can I better discern the difference between worldly wisdom and God's wisdom in my life?
- What are some examples of how God has frustrated human plans in history?

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Scriptum est enim : Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo.

γράφω (graphō) primarily means 'to write' and is derived from a sense of scratching or engraving. It encompasses various forms of writing, including inscribing letters, recording information, and expressing content in written form. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as recording scripture (e.g., Matthew 4:4) and writing letters (e.g., Acts 23:25). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

In the New Testament the most important preps. from a doctrinal point of view are anti, "face to face," "over against," "instead," "on behalf of," peri, "around," "about," "concerning," huper, "over," "on behalf of." The first has been claimed as stating the substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice as contrasted with huper and peri, more frequently used of it. But, although anti in the New Testament often means…

The Greek word ἀπόλλυμι (*apollumi*) is built from the prefix ἀπ- and a root meaning to destroy. It covers a range of meanings including to destroy, kill, lose, or perish, both literally and metaphorically. In the New Testament, it is used to describe destruction and loss of life, as seen in verses like Matthew 10:28. The lexicons do not present significant disagreement.
ἀπόλλυμι. One or two instances of the literal use of this common verb will suffice—P Petr III. 51° τὸ ἀργύριον ὃ ὥιοντο ἀπολωλέναι, “the money which they thought had been lost,” P Oxy IV. 743°% (B.c. 2) ἐγὼ ὅλος διαπον[ο]ῦμαι εἰ Ἕλενος χαλκοῦς ἀπόλε[σ]εν, “1 am quite upset at Helenos’ loss of the money” (Edd.). In P Fay 111° (a.p. 95-6) we have it of destroying life: μένφομαί σαι μεγάλως ἀπολέσας X[v]piSia δύω ἀπὸ τοῦ ckvApod τῆς ὡδοῦ, “1 blame you greatly for the loss of two pigs owing to the fatigue of the journey” (Edd.). (Probably the writer meant ἀπολέσαντα, but the nom. will construe.) So in the dreams of Ptolemy, son of Glaucias, the helper of the Temple twins, P Par 50° (p.c. 160) Λέγω: Μηθαμῶς ἐργῇς (?) ἢ ἀπολέσῃ σου τὸν παῖδα’ κύριος οὐκ ἀπολύει (-- ἀπολλύει, presumably) τὸν αὑτοῦ παῖδα.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

σοφία (sophia) means wisdom and encompasses a range from practical skills to profound spiritual insight. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to human wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:19) and divine wisdom (Romans 11:33). The term is associated with both intellectual and practical understanding, distinguishing it from related concepts like φρόνησις (prudence) and σύνεσις (intelligence).
Σοφία, φρόνησις, and γνῶσις occur together, Dan. i. 4, 17. They are all ascribed to God (φρόνησις not in the N. T., 1 Augustine (Serm. Ixxi. 6. 10): ‘In eo quod dictum est, Deus neminem tentat, non omni sed quodam tentationis modo Deus neminem tentare intelligendus est: ne falsum sit illud quod scriptum est, Tentat vos Dominus Deus vester [Deut. xiii. 3]; et ne Christum negemus Deum, vel dicamus falsum Evangelium, ubi legimus quia interrogabat discipulum, tentans eum [Joh. vi. 6]. Est enim tentatio adducens peccatum, qua Deus neminem tentat: et est tentatio probans fidem, qua et Deus tentare dignatur.’ Cf.

In the Revised Version (British and American) the noun "wisdom" and its corresponding adjective and verb ("be wise," "act wisely," etc.) represent a variety of Hebrew words: bin (binah, and in the English Revised Version tebunah), sakhal (sekhel, sekhel), lebh (and in the English Revised Version labhabh), tushiyah (and in the English Revised Version Te`em, `ormah, piqqach. None of these, however, is of very frequent occurrence and by far the most common group is the verb chakham, with the adjective chakham, and the nouns chokhmah, chokhmoth, with something over 300 occurrences in the Old Testament (of which rather more than half are in Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes).

Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

σοφός is an adjective meaning wise or skilled, derived from a root suggesting clarity. It encompasses a range of meanings from practical wisdom in daily life to learnedness in the arts and sciences. In the New Testament, it describes various figures, including Jewish teachers (Matthew 11:25) and Christian leaders (Matthew 23:34). The lexicons agree on its general application but vary in nuance regarding its philosophical implications.

Counted over the 90 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word σύνεσις (i.e., *sunesis*) is derived from the verb συνίημι and generally means understanding or intelligence. It encompasses the idea of a mental coming together or comprehension, appearing in several New Testament verses such as Luke 2:47 and Ephesians 3:4. The term can also refer to a union or flowing together, and it is sometimes contrasted with wisdom (σοφία).
σύνεσις, -ews, 1, (συνίημι, q- V-) 5 1. a running together, a flowing together: of two rivers, Hom. Od. 10, 515. 2. a. fr. Pind. down, understanding: Lk. ii. 47; 1 Co. i. 19 (fr. Is. xxix. 14); Eph. iii. 4; Col. ii. 2; 2 Tim. ii. 7; πνευματική, Col. i. 9. b. the understanding, i. e. the mind so far forth as it understands: Mk. xii. 33; Sap.iv.11. (Sept. for 2°3, TIN, AYA, pv, Day, ete.; also for S30, apoem.) [Syn. see σοφία, fin. ; ef. Bp. Lghtft. on Col. i. 9; Schmidt ch. 147, 8.]
σύνεσις in its wider sense ‘‘intelligence,’’ “ἢ understanding,” as in Lk 21’, is seen in such a passage as OG/S 323° (B.C. 159138) συνέσει kal παιδείαι προάγων. For its more ‘‘ critical” aspect as distinguished from σοφία, the apprehension of general principles, see Abbott 7CC ad Col 13. ‘The noun > in the Andanian mystery inser. Sy//% “ occurs = ‘‘ decree’ 73012 (B.C. 92) σύνεσιν ἀνενεγκάντω els TO πρυτανεῖον.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

συνετός is an adjective meaning intelligent, sagacious, or wise, derived from the verb συνίημι. It appears in the New Testament in Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21, Acts 13:7, and 1 Corinthians 1:19. The term conveys the idea of understanding and discernment, often in relation to knowledge or wisdom.

The Greek word ἀθετέω (athetéo) means to set aside, disregard, or reject something that has been established. It is built from the negative prefix and a root meaning to place or set. This term appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to laws and promises, such as in Galatians 3:16 and Mark 7:9. The lexicons note its use in the Septuagint for multiple Hebrew terms and its frequent occurrence in Pauline writings.
