The adjective mōros (fool) in the Bible
(Translation from NRSV for the New Testament and Brenton for the Septuagint with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)
Matthew
5, 22 | But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, 'You fool (mōros),' you will be liable to the hell of fire. |
7, 26 | And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish (mōros) man who built his house on sand. |
23, 17 | You blind fools (mōros)! For which is greater, the gold or the sanctuary that has made the gold sacred? |
25, 2 | Five of them were foolish (mōros), and five were wise. |
25, 3 | When the foolish (mōros) took their lamps, they took no oil with them; |
25, 8 | The foolish (mōros) said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' |
1 Corinthians
1, 25 | For God's foolishness (mōros) is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. |
1, 27 | But God chose what is foolish (mōros) in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; |
3, 18 | Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools (mōros) so that you may become wise |
4, 10 | We are fools (mōros) for the sake of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but
we in disrepute |
Titus
3, 9 | But avoid stupid (mōros) controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless |
2 Timothy
2, 23 | Have nothing to do with stupid (mōros) and senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. |
