Читать книгу 1 Corinthians - Luise Schottroff - Страница 27

19 For it is written in the Scripture: I am destroying the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the seekers I am putting in the wrong. 20 Where are the wise? Where are those who have the say? Where are those who in this world do the talking? Hasn’t God shown the wisdom of the world to be short-sighted? 21 Surrounded by God’s wisdom, the world with its wisdom has not recognized God, Therefore God has granted it to believers to save them through the foolish proclamation. 22 There are Jews who ask God for signs, and Greeks who seek wisdom; 23 and we proclaim the crucified Messiah. Some Jews consider that dangerous, some from the nations consider it unwise. 24 To those who are called by God, whether Jewish or non-Jewish, the Messiah embodies divine power and divine wisdom. 25 For God’s foolishness is wiser than humans are, and God’s weakness is stronger than humans are.

To his critique of the social structures which are to be overcome in the church of God, Paul appends in 1:19–31 a theological reflection on the crucifixion of the Messiah.
