Strong's Number G4680 matches the Greek σοφός (sophos),
which occurs 22 times in 21 verses
in the TR Greek.
At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants.
“This is why I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
The report of your obedience has reached everyone. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise about what is good, and yet innocent about what is evil.
to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ — to him be the glory forever![fn] Amen.
For it is written,
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and I will set aside the intelligence of the intelligent.
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the teacher of the law?[fn] Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made the world’s wisdom foolish?
because God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective,[fn] not many powerful, not many of noble birth.
Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong.
According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder,[fn] and another builds on it. But each one is to be careful how he builds on it.
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a fool so that he can become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written, He catches the wise in their craftiness;
I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between fellow believers?
Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk — not as unwise people but as wise —
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only[fn] God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct he should show that his works are done in the gentleness that comes from wisdom.
