Fools To The World

Nos stulti propter Christum

Verum est quia amantes Christum, stulti sunt mundo. Vos autem prudentes in Christo. Qui prudens in Christo judicatur a perfidis, non recte asserit Christum. Denqiue Mercion, quia negat Filium Dei, et incarnari Deum potuisse, prudens est mundo, et Photinus, quia non fatetur, Christum per id quod natus est, Deum, sapiens videtur mundanis.

We are fools for Christ. 1

It is true that the lovers of Christ are fools to the world. 'But you are wise in Christ.' 1 He who is wise in Christ is judged by the faithless not to speak correctly about Christ. So Marcion, because he denies the Son Of God and that God was able to be incarnate, is wise to the world, and Photinus, because he does not say that Christ was born so, seems to be wise to the worldly.
