'Of This Life' in the Bible

Where is the wise? where the scribe? where the disputer of this life? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

But we speak wisdom among the perfect, but not the wisdom of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, who are destroyed;

which none of the rulers of this life knew, for if they had known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

If then you have courts for the business of this life, do you constitute them of the most abject in the church?
