1 Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. [kjv]
ημεις μωροι δια χριστον υμεις δε φρονιμοι εν χριστω ημεις ασθενεις υμεις δε ισχυροι υμεις ενδοξοι ημεις δε ατιμοι [gnt]
The Greek word translated as
"wise" is that of
"prudent". Jesus says to be as
"prudent" as
"serpents". Might Paul have this in mind when he says what he says?
The Greek word translated as
"strong" is used by Jesus in a negative way. Might Paul have this in mind when he says what he says?
