For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 3:19 Go To 1 Corinthians 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
How does God catch the wise in their own craftiness? By showing them that while they imagined they can do without God, just then they would have all the more need of him. They are reduced to such a strait as to appear inferior to fishers and illiterates, whose wisdom they cannot now do without.
