1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God. This the apostle demonstrates — 1. By the irrational character of the central fact of the gospel (vers. 18-25). 2. By the mode of gaining members to, and the composition of the Church (vers. 26-31). 3. By the attitude taken in the midst of them by the preacher of the gospel. (Prof. Godet, D. D.)
