Paul, joined by Sosthenes, addresses the Corinthian church concerning their divisions around human leaders such as Paul, Apollos, and Cephas, asking whether Christ is divided. He establishes that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those perishing but the power of God to those being saved, demonstrating that God has chosen the weak and foolish things to confound the wise, so that no flesh should glory in His presence.
