¹ sn A quotation from Jer 9:24. The themes of Jer 9 have influenced Paul’s presentation in vv. 26-31. Jeremiah calls upon the wise, the strong, and the wealthy not to trust in their resources but in their knowledge of the true God – and so to boast in the Lord. Paul addresses the same three areas of human pride.

² tn Grk “in the calling.” “Calling” in Paul is God’s work of drawing people to faith in Christ. As in 1:26, calling here stands by metonymy for a person’s circumstances when he becomes a Christian.

³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

⁴ tn Grk “edification.”

⁵ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
