so that no man may boast before God.

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”;

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake.
