1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5 (page 1144)

 

THE CHRIST-CRUCIFIED REVOLUTION:

 

Not words of wisdom (1v17) but the word of the cross (1v18)

 

 

Divisions and rivalries (1:10-17)

 

 

 

§  The apparent weakness and foolishness of the cross to those who are perishing, but its power and wisdom to those who are being saved (1vv18-25) [1^st person plural: we]

 

 

 

God’s revolutionary cross-shaped wise and powerful purposes proved by:

 

 

(1)   The recipients of the gospel who were mostly unimpressive (1vv26-31) [2^nd person plural: you]

 

 

(2)   The preacher / preaching of the gospel which were mostly unimpressive (2vv1-5) [1^st person singular: I]

 

 

 

Ø Who / what will you boast / glory / rejoice / put your faith in? (1v31; 2v5)
