Do Not be Worldly Wiseman

Introduction

Pilgrm’s Progress - Worldly Wiseman...

That is the summation of the wisdom of the world. The world does not want to hear of sin or the necessity of the cross.

The discourse on wisdom began in 1: 18, and here Paul inverts what he said in 1: 18-25.

wisdom of the cross is foolishness to the unbelieving world -

wisdom of the world is foolishness to God -

The way of the cross is the object of our faith and the way of living!

This conclusion is powerful summation of all that has been said.

Let no one deceive himself - vv. 18

We are easily deceived

Let him become a fool

Let no one boast in men - 21-23
