SYNOPSIS OF THE CHAPTER
He proceeds to exalt the spiritual wisdom of Christ above all natural and animal wisdom. Therefore he says:—
i. That he knew and preached nothing but Christ crucified; and that not with enticing words of man"s Wisdom of Solomon , but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
ii. Nevertheless in ver5 he says that he speaks wisdom among them that are perfect, wisdom hidden from the world, which eye hath not seen nor ear heard, but which the Spirit of God alone has revealed.
iii. He shows in ver14that the natural man does not perceive the things which are of God, but the spiritual man perceives and judges all things.
