Greek text · Archambault 1:142–144
Καὶ ταῦτα δὲ πάντα ἃ ἔλεγον ἐν παρεκβάσεσι λέγω πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἤδη ποτὲ πεισθέντες τῷ εἰρημένῳ καθʼ ὑμῶν ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι Υἱοὶ ἀσύνετοί ἐστε, καὶ τῷ· Διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ προσθήσω τοῦ μεταθεῖναι τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, καὶ μεταθήσω αὐτούς, καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν αὐτῶν κρύψω, παύσησθε καὶ ἑαυτοὺς καὶ τοὺς ὑμῶν ἀκούοντας πλανῶντες, καὶ παρʼ ἡμῶν μανθάνοντες τῶν σοφισθέντων ἀπὸ τῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ χάριτος.
English · Claude translation
“And all these things I say to you by way of digression, so that, persuaded at last by what God has said against you, that ‘you are senseless sons,’ and, ‘Therefore, behold, I will proceed to remove this people, and I will remove them, and I will take away the wisdom of the wise, and hide the understanding of their prudent ones,’ you may stop deceiving yourselves and those who hear you, and learn from us, who have been made wise by the grace of Christ.
