ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 2 v13

INTERPRETING SPIRITUAL TRUTHS. CHRYSOSTOM: Some spiritual truths are unclear and need to be interpreted, but this can be done only by comparing them with other spiritual things. For example, when I say that Christ rose again, I compare this to the deliverance of Jonah from the belly of the whale.1 And when I say that he was born of a virgin, I compare this to the miraculous childbearing of barren women like Sarah, Rebekah and so on.2 HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 7.8.3

NOT A TOTAL DISAVOWAL OF HUMAN WISDOM. THEODORET OF CYR: This does not mean that Paul did not have any human wisdom but that he preached in the wisdom of the Spirit. COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 178.4
