Thomas Aquinas

And as to divine subjection: your heart shall meditate filial fear: the fear of the Lord shall delight the heart (Sir 1:12). 728. Where is the learned? Here he excludes the unworthy as to those who seem especially worthy. And first, the eminent in wisdom: where is the learned, educated in philosophy; where is he that pondered the words of the law, educated in divine knowledge; the teacher, instructing others in the elements of either: where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the learned? (1 Cor 1:20).
