'Cleverness' in the Bible
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
For it is written,“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”
Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.
