1 Corinthians chapter 1 addresses divisions in the church at Corinth. Paul begins by greeting the believers and thanking God for the grace given to them. He emphasizes unity in Christ, urging them to avoid divisions based on loyalty to different leaders, such as Paul, Apollos, or Cephas. Paul stresses that it is Christ who was crucified for them and in whose name they were baptized. He also contrasts the wisdom of the world with the wisdom of God, explaining that the message of the cross may seem foolish to some, but it is the power of God for those who believe.
