In 1 Corinthians 6:5, Paul appeals to their wisdom to settle disputes — here he similarly calls on them to judge his own words.

In 1 Corinthians 11:13, Paul again asks them to 'judge for yourselves' — the same appeal to their discernment in a different issue.

In 1 Corinthians 14:20, Paul calls them to be mature in thinking — here he assumes they are wise enough to judge.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:21, Paul commands to test everything — here he applies that principle by asking them to test his own teaching.

In Job 34:2, Elihu addresses 'wise men' — Paul uses the same form of address to engage their intellect.
