'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;
Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life?
If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those to judge who are little esteemed in the assembly.
and those who use the world [taking advantage of its opportunities], as though they did not make full use of it. For the outward form of this world [its present social and material nature] is passing away.
