1) There was quarreling among the Corinthians over which Christian leaders they followed, such as Paul, Apollos, or Cephas. 2) God chose what seems foolish in the world to shame the wise, and the rulers of this age did not understand God's hidden wisdom, as shown by their crucifying Jesus. 3) Paul addresses the Corinthians as spiritual infants and warns against immorality, lawsuits among believers, and associating with immoral people. Marrying is preferable to burning with passion, though the unmarried can devote themselves to the Lord.
