The Greek word grammateus used here was not used in Greek culture to denote any kind of advanced scholar. What Paul has in mind is the use of this term among Greek-speaking Jews: the grammateus was the “scribe,” the expert in the law of God, the person knowledgeable in biblical heritage and in all the tradition that flowed from it.
-D.A. Carson, The Cross and Christian Ministry, p.17
