Oppositions

Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."

We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."

Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.
