1 Corinthians 2:6, Them That Are Perfect

1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

The “perfect” here refers to those the believers who are saved and have imbibed God’s wisdom in their lives enabling them to grow toward spiritual maturity. The word means “complete or mature”. The Apostle Paul observes also that human wisdom is fruitless because it is crooked and lacking. It brings no lasting value to those who imbibed its teaching. Wisdom from God emanates from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul defends the ministry of the Word that he speaks as of the oracles of God. He has not come in the wisdom of man. The power of God will be manifested as a testimony for all the see so that so that all will be without excuse who rejects the wisdom of God as revealed in His Word.

 James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.  

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

God’s Word is able to build the lives of God’s people that they may receive peace, joy, righteousness. May we be willing to take time to learn. Amen.
