Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:28

Theological / Devotional

Base. Gr. agenes, literally, “of no family,” hence used to describe a man of no name or reputation. Here agenes signifies those who are held of no account among men. Paul is emphasizing the thought that God is in no way indebted to human skill or learning for the accomplishment of His purpose in the redemption of men. Humble, fully surrendered instruments are used by the Lord to show how vain and impotent are those who trust in worldly rank, power, and learning. Things which are not. That is, things that the world considers as nonexistent or of no account.
