THE UPSIDE-DOWN PERSON 1 CORINTHIANS 3:18-23

OVERVIEW: Whatever human beings think apart from God is foolishness (AMBROSIASTER). The faithful may look like fools to this world when they despise earthly wisdom, while the wise are caught in their craftiness when they imagine they can do without God (CHRYSOSTOM, THEODORET OF CYR). What the wise thought true has turned out to be false (AMBROSIASTER) and unable to save (PELAGIUS). Whatever the worldly wise may have, it may be stolen (ORIGEN). In this way Paul returns to his original theme (CHRYSOSTOM, AMBROSIASTER).
