Aantekeningen

Opdat geen vlees zou roemen voor Hem.

In de vorige versen werd benadrukt dat de Grieken met name vielen op uiterlijke indrukken. Paulus benadrukt dat ze die hier niet zullen vinden zodat niemand kan pochen voor God.
Irenaeus Against Heresies 3.20.1: [This was done] that man, receiving an unhoped-forsalvation from God, might rise from the dead, and glorify God, and repeat that word which was uttered in prophecy by Jonah: I cried by reason of my affliction to the Lord my God, and He heard me out of the belly of hell; Jonah 2:2 and that he might always continue glorifying God, and giving thanks without ceasing, for that salvation which he has derived from Him, that no flesh should glory in theLord's presence; 1 Corinthians 1:29 and that man should never adopt an opposite opinion with regard to God, supposing that the incorruptibility which belongs to him is his own naturally, and by thus not holding the truth, should boast with empty superciliousness, as if he were naturally like to God. For he (Satan) thus rendered him (man) more ungrateful towards his Creator, obscured the love which Godhad towards man, and blinded his mind not to perceive what is worthy of God, comparing himself with, and judging himself equal to, God.
Tertullian Against Marcion 5.5 § 10: (the Creator) in the process of confusing opposites by their opposites, so that "no flesh shall glory; but, as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."
Adamantius, Dialogues (p.42, l.9 - <)
Origen De Principiis 3: From which it appears to me that the divine mysteries were concealed from the wise and prudent, according to the statement of Scripture, that "no flesh should glory before God,"
