1 Corinthians 3:21
Wherefore let no one glory in men ( ωστε μηδεις καυχασθω εν ανθρωποις ). The conclusion ( ωστε ) from the self-conceit condemned. This particle here is merely inferential with no effect on the construction ( ωσ+τε = and so) any more than ουν would have, a paratactic conjunction. There are thirty such examples of ωστε in the N.T., eleven with the imperative as here (Robertson, Grammar, p. 999). The spirit of glorying in party is a species of self-conceit and inconsistent with glorying in the Lord (1:31).
