I Corinthians 1 - Introduction, Divisions in chruch, and the power of God

1-9
Introduction by Paul

10-17
- There are divisions between the congregation in Corinth, some follow Paul, Apollos, and Chepas (aka Peter).
- These guys are all good (highly regarded by Paul) and nothing wrong with their teachings. We don't know exactly what causes the division (because of different philosophies, etc?)

18-31
- Corinth is a society where wisdom/ knowledge is highly regarded (read: GREEK)
- God choose the foolish/weak (by worldly standard) so the "wise"/"strong" cannot boast himself, and to encourage the foolish/weak.
- Worldly knowledge and strength is nothing to God
- Christianity is a foolish concept, irrational thing, from world's wisdom point of view. This is quite an eye opener that we shouldn't depend on our worldly wisdom too much when trying to understand the bible.
