1 Corinthians 1:30 — KJV
Of him. That is, of God. Our life, our being, is of God (Acts 17:25, 28). In Christ Jesus. It is union with Christ that makes Christians strong and wise. They do not attain high position, wealth, honor, or power of themselves. God, through Jesus Christ, supplies all things. Even though men do not recognize the fact, nevertheless all the good things of life that they possess are made available by the agency of Christ. Everything necessary to rescue men from the degradation into which they have sunk as the result of sin is found in Jesus, who is the “fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Col. 2:9; cf. COL 115). Through Jesus we become wise, righteous, holy, and redeemed. Wisdom. See on Rom. 11:33. Righteousness. By faith the righteousness of Christ is imputed and imparted to the repentant believer (see on Rom. 1:17; 4:3). Sanctification. Gr. hagiasmos (see on Rom. 6:19). Redemption. Gr. apolutrosis (see on Rom. 3:24).
