A disputing figure in a challenge to worldly wisdom · dominant
In 1 Corinthians 1:20, the nominative singular masculine form occurs in the question, “Where is the debater of this age?” alongside questions about the wise person and the scribe. The APB then renders the verse’s contrast with God making “the wisdom of the world foolish.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Corinthians 1:20, the APB presents the figure as “the debater of this age.” This rendering confirms the verse’s overall portrayal rather than isolating every nuance of the term.
