Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

'Wherefore' -'What is the proper conclusion to be drawn from all this?'

'let no one glory in men' -'to glory in men, means to boast about them, their qualities, teachings, and wisdom in any measure or degree apart from Christ and the wisdom of the gospel. The Corinthians were on the way to that type of glorying.' (Lenski p. 153)

There is no good reason to glory to man, seeing that man, by himself can't find God! (1 Corinthians 1:21; Jeremiah 2:23) Why in the world would one want to boast in. "wisdom" that is so helplessly inept?

'For all things are yours' -'all of them belong to you' (NEB).
