1 Corinthians 1:22

Seeing that (epeidh). Resumes from verse 1 Corinthians 1:21. The structure is not clear, but probably verses 1 Corinthians 1:23-24 form a sort of conclusion or apodosis to verse 1 Corinthians 1:22 the protasis. The resumptive, almost inferential, use of de like alla in the apodosis is not unusual.

Ask for signs (shmeia aitousin). The Jews often came to Jesus asking for signs (Matthew 12:38; Matthew 16:1; John 6:30).

Seek after wisdom (sofian zhtousin). "The Jews claimed to possess the truth: the Greeks were seekers, speculators" (Vincent) as in Acts 17:23.
