Verse Concepts
For the message of [Christ dying on] the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing [i.e., in a lost state], but it is God's power to us who are being saved. For it is written [Isa. 29:14], "I [i.e., God] will destroy the wisdom of wise people, and will set aside [i.e., hinder] the understanding of intelligent people." Where is the wise person? And where is the expert in the law? [And] where is the debater of this world?
No one should fool himself. If any person among you thinks he is smart, by human standards, he should become a "fool," so that he can become [really] wise. For this world's "wisdom" is foolishness to God. For it is written [Job 5:13], "He [i.e., God] catches wise people in their cleverness." And again, it says [Psa. 94:11], "The Lord knows that the thoughts of 'wise people' are worthless." read more.
So, no one should boast about [the knowledge or position of] people. For all things belong to you, including Paul, and Apollos, and Cephas [i.e., Peter], and the world, and life and death, and present and future things. All of these things are yours. [Note: Paul is showing that, as Christians, they really possessed and should value all preachers and circumstances of life alike]. And you people belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
