Wisdom and Folly
Paul, Letter to the Romans 1:22 (KJV):
Newer› ‹Older
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...Karl Barth ad loc. (tr. Edwyn Hoskyns):
φάσκοντες εἶναι σοφοὶ ἐμωράνθησαν...
Vanity of mind and blindness of heart inevitably bring into being corrupt conduct. The more the unbroken man marches along his road secure of himself, the more surely does he make a fool of himself, the more certainly do that morality and that manner of life which are built up upon a forgetting of the abyss, upon a forgetting of men's true home, turn out to be a lie.
