A wise man— If St. Paul uses this word in the sense of the synagogue, it signifies a rabbi, or one ordained, and so capacitated to be a judge; for such were called wise men. If in the sense of the Greek schools, then it signifies a man of learning, study, and parts. If it be taken in the latter sense, it may seem to be used with some reflection on their pretences to wisdom. See Locke.
