Paul wants the Corinthian church to live under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Divisions had already begun among the church at Corinth, and as we\u2019ll see in these first few chapters, some of the division came because believers began attributing themselves to mere men. Paul directs them to boast, not in the teachers they follow, but in Christ and Him crucified. In other words, \u201clet one who boasts, boast in the Lord.\u201d The cross is foolishness to the world, but to those who are being saved, it is the power of Almighty God. The apostles weren\u2019t to be placed on pedestals, but they were to be looked to as examples of humility.
