commentaries such as Adam Clarke says Jesus is wisdom personified

(161) 1Co 1:21 For after that in the wisdom (chokmah) of God the world by wisdom (chokmah) knew not God , it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe .

..in the wisdom (chokmah) of God ..

(162) 1Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign , and the Greeks seek after wisdom (chokmah) :

.. and the Greeks seek after wisdom (chokmah) :

secular wisdom is meant here..

(163) 1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called , both Jews and Greeks , Christ the power of God , and the wisdom (chokmah) of God .

Christ the power of God , and the wisdom (chokmah) of God .

Strange how some commentators like Adam Clarke say Jesus is wisdom...

In this case Jesus is also God... but these verses do NOT say this... For one thing "Elohiym" or "theos" is here, so is also the Father, thus Jesus is also the Father?

This shows what a shallow understanding of Scripture does... one must study all the Scripture verses on a topic. Even if there are hundreds of verses....

Clearly Jesus is a simile of the power of ELOHIYM ( the Family of GOD), and a simile of the WISDOM of ELOHIYM ( the Family of GOD). Jesus is a member of Elohiym, and the Father and the Holy Spirit are members of Elohiym. But one cannot make any member Elohiym, for this Hebrew word does not mean a singular numerical one of a divine deity. The term was always a system or family of deities. See studies of Elohiym.

(164) 1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus , who of God is made unto us wisdom (chokmah) , and righteousness , and sanctification , and redemption :

.. who of God is made unto us wisdom (chokmah) , and righ

(165) 1Co 2:1 � And I , brethren , when I came to you , came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom (chokmah) , declaring unto you the testimony of God .

.. of speech or of wisdom (chokmah)..

(166) 1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom (chokmah) , but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power :

..enticing words of man's wisdom (chokmah) .

(167) 1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom (chokmah) of men , but in the power of God .

. the wisdom (chokmah) of men ,

(168) 1Co 2:6 � Howbeit we speak wisdom (chokmah) among them that are perfect : yet not the wisdom (chokmah) of this world , nor of the princes of this world , that come to nought :

. we speak wisdom (chokmah) among ..

(169) 1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom (chokmah) of God in a mystery , even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory :

.. we speak the wisdom (chokmah) of God ..

(170) 1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak , not in the words which man's wisdom (chokmah) teacheth , but which the Holy Ghost teacheth ; comparing spiritual things with spiritual .

.. not in the words which man's wisdom (chokmah) teacheth ..
