1 Corinthians 1
1.After his salutation and thanksgiving for the Corinthians,
10.Paul exhorts them to unity,
12.and reproves their dissensions.
18.God destroys the wisdom of the wise,
21.by the foolishness of preaching;
26.and calls not the wise, mighty, and noble,
28.but the foolish, weak, and men of no account.














For since in the wisdom of God
This phrase highlights the divine wisdom that orchestrates the events of the world. It reflects the biblical theme that God's wisdom is far superior to human understanding (Isaiah 55:8-9). The wisdom of God is evident in creation (Psalm 104:24) and in His plan of salvation, which often defies human logic. This wisdom is also seen in the mystery of the Gospel, which was hidden for ages but revealed in Christ (Colossians 1:26-27).

the world through its wisdom did not know Him
Here, the "world" refers to humanity's collective understanding and philosophies that fail to recognize God. Despite the advancements in knowledge and philosophy, especially in Greek culture, human wisdom could not comprehend the nature of God or His plan (Romans 1:21-22). This reflects the limitations of human reasoning in spiritual matters and the need for divine revelation (1 Corinthians 2:14).

God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached
This phrase underscores the paradox of the Gospel message. What is considered "foolishness" by worldly standards is actually the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18). The preaching of the cross, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, is the means by which God chose to reveal His salvation (1 Corinthians 1:23-24). This demonstrates God's pleasure in using what seems weak to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27).

to save those who believe
Salvation is presented as a gift received through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). This phrase emphasizes the necessity of belief in the message of the Gospel for salvation. It aligns with the broader biblical narrative that faith, not works, is the means by which individuals are justified before God (Romans 3:28). The call to believe is universal, yet it requires a personal response to the preached word (John 3:16).

Teaching Points
Divine Wisdom vs. Human Wisdom
God's wisdom is fundamentally different from human wisdom. While the world values intellectual achievement and philosophical reasoning, God’s plan of salvation through the cross appears foolish to those who rely solely on human understanding.

The Power of the Gospel
The message of the cross, though simple and seemingly foolish, is the power of God for salvation. Believers are called to trust in this message rather than in human wisdom.

Humility in Faith
Recognizing the limitations of human wisdom should lead to humility. Believers are encouraged to rely on God’s wisdom and revelation rather than their own understanding.

The Role of Faith
Salvation comes through faith in the message preached, not through intellectual assent or human reasoning. This calls for a heart response to God’s revelation.

God’s Pleasure in Salvation
God delights in using what the world considers foolish to accomplish His purposes, demonstrating His sovereignty and the depth of His wisdom.
Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from 1 Corinthians 1

How do preaching and teaching differ in purpose and method?

What does "God's foolishness is wiser than men" mean?

Can they hear without a preacher?

What does the Bible mention about stuttering?(21)For.--This is an explanation and evidence of Low God made the wisdom of the world to be only "folly."

After that (better,inasmuch as) is not here a note of time, but of causal relation.

In the wisdom of God.--These words can scarcely be taken as an expression of a kind of approval of God's wisdom in so arranging the method of revelation, but rather as referring to God's wisdom evidenced in nature, and in the teachings of lawgivers and prophets. The world by its wisdom did not attain to a knowledge of God in His wisdom displayed in creation (Acts 17:26;Romans 1:19).

Itpleased God.--The world having thus failed to gain a true knowledge of God in His wisdom, He gave them that knowledge through that very proclamation of "the cross" which those "that perish" call foolishness. The contrast so strikingly put here is between (1) thefailure of the world by means of its wisdom to know God, in His wisdom displayed to all in His mighty works, and to the Jews in His great teachers; and (2) thesuccess of this "folly" of the gospel, as they called it, in saving all who believed it (Romans 1:16).

Verse 21. -In the wisdom of God; that is, as a part of his Divine economy. Theworld through its wisdom knew not God. These words might be written as an epitaph on the tomb of ancient philosophy, and of modern philosophy and science so far as it assumes an anti-Christian form (Luke 10:21). Human wisdom, when it relies solely on itself, may "feel after God," but hardly find him (Acts 17:26, 27).Through the foolishness of the preaching. This is a mis-translation. It would requirekeruxeos, notkerugmatos. It should beby the foolishness (as men esteemed it)of the thing preached.
