But God has brought you. MacKnight sees this emphasizing God's side of salvation, in which he alone is said to bring us into union with Christ. See notes on Romans 8:29-30. To be our wisdom. Paul's whole line of reasoning is based on this fact. We see God change human wisdom into foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:20-25). he did this for our salvation (1 Corinthians 2:7) - to prove and demonstrate his own wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:24), and give it to us [all Christians] in Christ. This wisdom is a life-giving moral force direct from God himself (James 3:17-18). Wisdom stands by itself; the other three things define it. Put right = Counted as righteous through Christ. We become = a new being (2 Corinthians 5:17). Are set free = we will be raised from death (Romans 8:23;Ephesians 1:14; Ephesians 4:30). Christ is all of these to us!!!
